dbcli mycli Whitelist source.py source_special_command_is_safe os command injection

Published Oct 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 4.8 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

A weakness has been identified in dbcli mycli up to 2.29.4/2.30.1. The impacted element is the function source_special_command_is_safe of the file mycli/packages/special/source.py of the component Whitelist. Executing a manipulation can lead to os command injection. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Analysis

Technical impact

A vulnerability was identified in the source_special_command_is_safe function within the Whitelist component of dbcli mycli. The flaw allows a local user to inject operating‑system commands by manipulating the input passed to this function. If exploited, an attacker can run arbitrary commands on the host where mycli is installed. The weakness is classified under CWE‑77 and CWE‑78 and is reported to exist in versions up to 2.29.4 and 2.30.1.

Affected Systems

The affected product is dbcli mycli. Versions up to 2.29.4 and 2.30.1 are vulnerable. Users running these releases on any local device are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.8, indicating a moderate impact. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that widespread exploitation is currently low. However, an exploit has been publicly released, so an attacker with local access could launch the injection. The attack vector is inferred to be local, requiring the attacker to have the ability to execute mycli on the target host.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Upgrade dbcli mycli to a version that addresses the source_special_command_is_safe vulnerability (at least 2.31 or later).
If an update is not immediately possible, disable or restrict the use of special commands by configuring the whitelist or removing the source_special_command_is_safe functionality.
Apply stricter user privileges and monitor for unexpected command execution to limit potential damage if local exploitation occurs.
