# CVE-2023-30625: rudder-server is vulnerable to SQL injection

**Signal:** High exploit likelihood. EPSS ranks it in the top 5% of all CVEs for likely exploitation in the next 30 days. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- 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.

## Affected packages

- Go `github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server` < 1.3.0-rc.1 → fixed: 1.3.0-rc.1

## Affected products (CVE record)

- rudderlabs rudder-server: < 1.3.0-rc.1

## Severity

- GitHub_M CVSS 3.1: 8.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 85.82% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 99.7.
