SQL injection via unquoted DuckDB identifiers
Published Mar 18, 2026 · Updated Mar 18, 2026
SQL injection in Glances before 4.5.2 allows remote attackers to alter DuckDB schemas through crafted monitoring-statistic identifiers. The DuckDB export module inserts plugin names and statistic dictionary keys directly into CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements without identifier quoting. DuckDB export must be enabled, and exploitation requires a plugin that supplies attacker-controlled statistic keys or a crafted plugin name; successful injection can corrupt the database or create unauthorized tables.
