SQL injection via unsanitized sort key
Published Aug 27, 2025 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
SQL injection in Readarr 0.4.15.2787 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary SQL against its SQLite database. The GET /api/v1/wanted/cutoff handler incorporates the user-controlled sortKey value into a query without neutralizing SQL syntax, permitting stacked statements. The published proof sends an API key and demonstrates a resource-intensive time-based query; CISA assesses no prior privileges but requires user interaction.
