CVE-2026-61667Network attack vector

Authenticated RCE via dataset SQL injection and eval

Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026

SQL injection in DIRAC FileCatalog before 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The checkDataset path interpolates caller-controlled datasetName into an FC_MetaDatasets query, then passes attacker-controlled MetaQuery data to Python eval. Any authenticated user who can invoke the service can execute code as the DIRAC service account, exposing configuration, database credentials, proxies, and tokens and permitting log alteration.
