CVE-2026-41490: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in dagster-io dagster
Dagster is an orchestration platform for the development, production, and observation of data assets. Prior to Dagster Core version 1.13.1 and prior to Dagster libraries version 0.29.1, the DuckDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, and DeltaLake I/O managers constructed SQL WHERE clauses by interpolating dynamic partition key values into queries without escaping. A user with the Add Dynamic Partitions permission could create a partition key that injects arbitrary SQL, which would execute against the target database backend under the I/O manager's credentials. Only deployments that use dynamic partitions are affected. Pipelines using static or time-window partitions are not impacted. This issue has been patched in Dagster Core version 1.13.1 and Dagster libraries version 0.29.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Dagster versions before Core 1.13.1 and libraries before 0.29.1 for DuckDB, Snowflake, BigQuery, and DeltaLake I/O managers construct SQL WHERE clauses by directly interpolating dynamic partition key values without proper escaping. This improper neutralization of special SQL elements (CWE-89) enables a user with Add Dynamic Partitions permission to inject arbitrary SQL code executed with the I/O manager's database credentials. Only deployments using dynamic partitions are vulnerable; static or time-window partition pipelines are unaffected. The vulnerability has been patched in the specified versions.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Add Dynamic Partitions permission to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the target database backend with the I/O manager's privileges. This can lead to high confidentiality and integrity impact, including unauthorized data access or modification, and a low impact on availability. The vulnerability is limited to deployments using dynamic partitions.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Dagster Core version 1.13.1 and Dagster libraries version 0.29.1. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is a cloud-hosted service, the vendor manages remediation for the cloud environment; users should verify with the vendor advisory for their deployment. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
