CVE-2023-30625: rudder-server is vulnerable to SQL injection
rudder-server is part of RudderStack, an open source Customer Data Platform (CDP).
CVSS 9.3 Critical EPSS 85.8% · p99.7
Should you act?
High exploit likelihood
EPSS ranks it in the top 5% of all CVEs for likely exploitation in the next 30 days. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 85.8%, percentile 99.7: FIRST’s model estimates a 85.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.7% of all scored CVEs (very high). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server(Go) < 1.3.0-rc.1, fixed in 1.3.0-rc.1. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
What it is
rudder-server is part of RudderStack, an open source Customer Data Platform (CDP). Versions of rudder-server prior to 1.3.0-rc.1 are vulnerable to SQL injection. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to the rudder role in PostgresSQL having superuser permissions by default. Version 1.3.0-rc.1 contains patches for this issue.
