CallBackery versions before 0.62.0 for Perl allow OS command execution via sqlite3 shell commands in a restored configuration backup

Impact

CallBackery for Perl, versions before 0.62.0, allows OS command execution via sqlite3 shell commands in a restored configuration backup. An attacker with access to supply a backup can run arbitrary commands as the application user. The weakness is improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command.

Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.

What to do

Upgrade to CallBackery 0.62.0 or later.

Original source description

CallBackery versions before 0.62.0 for Perl allow OS command execution via sqlite3 shell commands in a restored configuration backup.

restoreConfigBlob() feeds the database dump in a backup to the sqlite3 command-line shell. The shell runs lines starting with a dot as its own commands, so .shell or .system in the dump runs an OS command and .load loads native code.

Anyone who can supply a backup to be restored can run arbitrary commands as the application user.
