CVE-2026-41457: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in owntone owntone-server
OwnTone Server versions 28. 4. 0 through 29. 0 contain a SQL injection vulnerability in the handling of DAAP query and filter parameters. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL expressions via the query= and filter= parameters for integer-mapped DAAP fields, potentially bypassing filters and accessing unauthorized media library data. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4. 0 base score of 6. 9, indicating medium severity. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided yet, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-41457 is a SQL injection vulnerability in OwnTone Server (versions 28.4.0 through 29.0) affecting the DAAP query and filter handling. Attackers can supply malicious values through the query= and filter= parameters, which are insufficiently sanitized for integer-mapped DAAP fields, allowing injection of arbitrary SQL commands. This can lead to unauthorized access to media library data by bypassing intended filters. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9. No patch or official remediation level has been published as of the current data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject SQL commands via DAAP query and filter parameters, potentially bypassing filters and gaining unauthorized access to media library data. This compromises data confidentiality within the affected OwnTone Server instances. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider restricting access to the affected parameters or deploying application-layer protections such as web application firewalls with SQL injection detection rules tailored to DAAP query and filter parameters. Monitor vendor channels for updates.
