Impact
The two package search handlers, Search
and SearchFeed
, implemented in pkg/app/handler/packages/search.go
, are affected by a SQL injection via the q
parameter. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL queries on https://packages.gentoo.org/. It was also demonstrated that primitive was enough to gain code execution in the context of the PostgreSQL container.
Patches
The issue was addressed in 4fa6e4b
using prepared statements to interpolate user-controlled data in SQL queries.
