Database control via unsanitized admin delete parameters
Published Jul 10, 2026 · Updated Jul 10, 2026
SQL injection in the coturn HTTPS admin panel before 4.12.0 allows remote authenticated users to control its database. Delete-user, delete-secret, and delete-IP handlers interpolate the du, ds, and dip parameters into SQL strings without applying is_secure_string. Exploitation requires valid admin credentials and the nondefault web-admin feature; PostgreSQL deployments permit stacked queries and OS commands when the database role has sufficient privileges.
