Threat Intelligence Database

Vector is a high-performance observability data pipeline. From 0.10.0 until 0.57.0, the file sink renders its templated path from event fields and opens the result without confining it to an intended directory. When an untrusted source supplies an event field used by the path template, the value can contain an absolute path or parent-directory traversal, causing Vector to create parent directories and create or overwrite files outside the intended location with the Vector process privileges. The resulting file write can modify sensitive files and can lead to code execution when a scheduled task, authorization file, or subsequently executed script is targeted. This issue is fixed in version 0.57.0.

Datadog Vector version 0.54.0 contains a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the set_uri_query parameter within the KeyPartitioner::partition function.

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating high severity with potential for full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No patch or official remediation has been confirmed yet. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
