CVE-2025-1385Network attack vector

Privileged code execution via unrestricted library path

Published Mar 20, 2025 · Updated Mar 20, 2025

Code injection in affected ClickHouse releases allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code on the database server. The library-bridge HTTP handlers accept a library_path parameter and load the referenced shared library without verifying that its canonical path falls under configured read-only library directories. Exploitation requires the library bridge to be enabled and an account with access to both table engines, including a path that permits an uploaded library to reach a loadable directory.
