Arbitrary database queries via hardcoded child-node key
Published Aug 29, 2026 · Updated Aug 29, 2026
Use of a hardcoded credential in Shinobi before commit 5a76c74f allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary database queries. The child node service accepts a shipped connection key during the WebSocket handshake, and onWebSocketDataFromChildNode passes attacker-supplied query and values fields to s.sqlQuery without query authorization. Reachability of the child node port is the only reported gate; successful access permits reading and modifying user records and camera configuration.
