CVE-2026-54628: CWE-284: Improper Access Control in julien040 anyquery
Anyquery is an SQL query engine built on top of SQLite. Prior to 0.4.5, anyquery server exposes URL-capable SQLite virtual table modules such as json_reader and log_reader through its unauthenticated MySQL-compatible server port without restricting outbound destinations. A remote attacker can provide a loopback, private-network, or link-local cloud metadata URL, causing go-getter in the Anyquery server process to fetch the selected resource and expose its response as queryable table data. This permits internal network probing, access to internal APIs, and disclosure of cloud credentials; low-integrity impact is possible when a reached internal API performs state-changing actions. This issue is fixed in version 0.4.5.

Technical Summary
CVE-2026-54628 describes an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in julien040 anyquery prior to version 0.4.5. The anyquery server exposes SQLite virtual table modules like json_reader and log_reader via an unauthenticated MySQL-compatible server port without restricting the URLs that can be fetched. An attacker can supply URLs pointing to loopback, private network, or cloud metadata endpoints, causing the server's go-getter component to fetch these resources and expose their contents as queryable tables. This enables internal network reconnaissance, access to internal APIs, and disclosure of sensitive cloud credentials. The vulnerability is resolved in version 0.4.5.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access internal network resources and cloud metadata endpoints through the anyquery server, potentially disclosing sensitive information such as cloud credentials. While the confidentiality impact is high, integrity and availability impacts are not indicated. There is a low-integrity impact risk if internal APIs accessed perform state-changing actions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade anyquery to version 0.4.5 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation is indicated or required according to the available data.
