Vulnerability in @bytebase/dbhub (CVE-2026-61788)

Summary

Vulnerability in @bytebase/dbhub (CVE-2026-61788). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via execute_sql. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.22.6 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

Setting readonly = true on the execute_sql tool does not make the connection read-only. The connectors are written to set PostgreSQL default_transaction_read_only=on (and open SQLite in readOnly mode), but that code is gated on a config value that is never populated, so it never runs. The only thing left enforcing read-only is a classifier that inspects the first keyword of each statement. Any SELECT that writes or has side effects through a function call passes it. With an ordinary role this allows sequence tampering; with a privileged role it allows writing arbitrary files on the server (lo_export), reading arbitrary host files (pg_read_file), and remote code execution (dblink + COPY ... TO PROGRAM). The HTTP transport is unauthenticated and binds to 0.0.0.0 by default, so this is reachable by any network caller of /mcp.

Details

Two problems combine.

1. The database-level read-only control is dead code.

PostgresConnector.connect() only enables it when config.readonly is truthy (src/connectors/postgres/index.ts:175-177):

// SDK-level readonly enforcement: Set default_transaction_read_only for the entire connection
if (config?.readonly) {
  poolConfig.options = (poolConfig.options || '') + ' -c default_transaction_read_only=on';
}

SQLite is gated the same way (src/connectors/sqlite/index.ts:192). ConnectorConfig.readonly is assigned in exactly one place, and only from source.readonly (`src/connector…

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r '@bytebase/dbhub' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r '@bytebase/dbhub' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で @bytebase/dbhub を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade @bytebase/dbhub to 0.22.6

    ステージング環境で 0.22.6 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
