CVE-2026-42087: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in OpenC3 cosmos
OpenC3 COSMOS provides the functionality needed to send commands to and receive data from one or more embedded systems. From version 6.7.0 to before version 7.0.0-rc3, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Time-Series Database (TSDB) component of COSMOS. The tsdb_lookup function in the cvt_model.rb file directly places user-supplied input into a SQL query without sanitizing the input. As a result, a user can break out of the initial SQL statement and execute arbitrary SQL commands, including deleting data. This issue has been patched in version 7.0.0-rc3.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
OpenC3 COSMOS, a system for managing embedded systems, contains a SQL injection vulnerability in its Time-Series Database (TSDB) component in versions from 6.7.0 to before 7.0.0-rc3. The vulnerability arises because the tsdb_lookup function in the cvt_model.rb file directly incorporates user input into SQL queries without proper sanitization. This allows an attacker to manipulate the SQL query structure to execute arbitrary commands, including destructive operations such as data deletion. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.6, indicating critical severity. The vendor patched this vulnerability in version 7.0.0-rc3.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker with limited privileges to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database. This can lead to unauthorized data manipulation, including deletion, which compromises data integrity and availability. The vulnerability does not directly affect confidentiality or availability beyond the impact on data integrity. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade OpenC3 COSMOS to version 7.0.0-rc3 or later, where this SQL injection vulnerability has been patched. Since this is not a cloud service, users must apply the update themselves. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory indicating the fix is included in 7.0.0-rc3. Until the upgrade is applied, restrict access to trusted users with minimal privileges to reduce risk.
