PYSEC-2026-2341

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-07-13 14:36 - Updated: 2026-07-13 16:03
VLAI
Details

Impact

The Query string search API (q=) was vulnerable to SQL injection via the Postgres query parser, which built WHERE clauses by interpolating user-supplied search terms directly into SQL strings via f-strings.

Patches

Fixed in v9.1.0. The Postgres query parser now uses parameterized queries with %(name)s placeholders passed to psycopg2's cursor.execute(), preventing SQL injection through the ?q= parameter. The MongoDB backend was not affected.

Workarounds

Upgrade to v9.1.0 or later. If unable to upgrade, deploy a proxy in front of the Alerta API to sanitize the q= parameter.
