CVE-2023-46575: SQL injection vulnerability in Meshery
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Meshery prior to version v0.6.179, enabling a remote attacker to retrieve sensitive information and execute arbitrary code through the “order” parameter
CVSS 9.1 Critical EPSS 1.3% · p70
Should you act?
Critical, preconditions apply
Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. 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. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.3%, percentile 70: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 70% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (high (admin)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes
github.com/layer5io/meshery(Go) < 0.6.179, fixed in 0.6.179. Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
