SQL injection via unescaped TimescaleDB export values
Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Mar 10, 2026
SQL injection in Nicolargo Glances before 4.5.1 allows local users to alter or extract TimescaleDB data through crafted monitor names. The TimescaleDB export module's normalize() method quotes strings without escaping embedded quotes, then passes concatenated INSERT statements to cur.execute(). Exploitation requires the exporter to run and ingest attacker-controlled local metadata, such as a process, interface, mount point, or container name.
