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…
