# CVE-2026-47252: Anyquery: AppleScript/JXA Code Injection via Unescaped URL in macOS Chrome Plugin

**Signal:** Critical, preconditions apply. Severe if exploited, but exploitation needs conditions that may not apply to you. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Not in CISA KEV , but CISA’s SSVC assessment records a public proof-of-concept, so attack code exists.
- EPSS 0.7% , percentile 53: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.7% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 53% of all scored CVEs (moderate). 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/julien040/anyquery/plugins/chrome (Go) < 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767, fixed in 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767 ; github.com/julien040/anyquery/plugins/brave (Go) < 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767, fixed in 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767 ; github.com/julien040/anyquery/plugins/edge (Go) < 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767, fixed in 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767 ; github.com/julien040/anyquery/plugins/safari (Go) < 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767, fixed in 0.0.0-20240826075852-c651df0b8767 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

Anyquery is an SQL query engine built on top of SQLite. Prior to 0.4.5, authenticated users with INSERT or UPDATE access to affected macOS virtual tables can execute operating-system commands because the Chrome plugin and equivalent Brave, Edge, and Safari variants interpolate a SQL-controlled URL into AppleScript or JXA source passed to osascript. In plugins/chrome/tabs.go, tabsTable.Insert() passes the URL through fmt.Sprintf(newTabScript, url), and tabsTable.Update() uses fmt.Sprintf(setURLScript, pk, url). A URL containing quote and newline characters can break out of the intended string or property record and append script statements, resulting in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the anyquery process on the macOS host. This issue is fixed in version 0.4.5.
