Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: dataease
Product: SQLBot

Description

SQLBot is an intelligent Text-to-SQL system based on large language models and RAG. Prior to 1.9.0, an authenticated uploader can submit an image/svg+xml assistant UI logo through PATCH /api/v1/system/assistant/ui, and SQLBot stores the SVG without sanitizing or validating embedded active content. SQLBot later serves the file inline from the same application origin through GET /api/v1/system/assistant/picture/{filename}. When another user loads that generated resource, JavaScript embedded in the SVG executes in the SQLBot web application context, resulting in stored cross-site scripting with access to data and actions available to the victim's session. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.0.

Technical Analysis

SQLBot, an intelligent Text-to-SQL system, allowed authenticated users before version 1.9.0 to upload SVG images containing active JavaScript content via the PATCH /api/v1/system/assistant/ui endpoint. The application stored these SVG files without sanitizing or validating embedded scripts. Later, when other users accessed these SVGs through GET /api/v1/system/assistant/picture/{filename}, the malicious JavaScript executed within the victim's browser context, leading to stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79). This could allow attackers to perform actions or access data available to the victim's session. The issue is resolved in SQLBot version 1.9.0.

Potential Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker with authenticated upload privileges to inject malicious JavaScript into SVG files served by SQLBot. When other users load these SVGs, the script executes in their browser context, potentially compromising session data and enabling unauthorized actions within the application. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade SQLBot to version 1.9.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed by proper sanitization of SVG uploads. Until upgrading, restrict upload permissions to trusted users only and avoid loading SVG files from untrusted sources. Patch status is confirmed fixed in version 1.9.0.
