Title

Rucio SQL Injection in FilterEngine Oracle JSON Path via DID Search API

Summary

A SQL injection vulnerability in `FilterEngine.create_sqla_query()` allows any authenticated Rucio user to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database through the DID search endpoint (`GET /dids/<scope>/dids/search`). On Oracle deployments attacker-controlled filter keys and values are interpolated directly into `sqlalchemy.text()` via Python `.format()`, completely bypassing parameterization. This enables full database compromise including extraction of authentication tokens, password hashes, and all managed data identifiers. This affects versions 1.27.0 and later before 35.8.5, 38.5.5, 39.4.2, and 40.1.1. The vulnerability exists in `lib/rucio/core/did_meta_plugins/filter_engine.py` within the `create_sqla_query()` method. When the database dialect is Oracle, filter expressions for JSON metadata columns are constructed using `text()` with Python string formatting. Both `key` and `value` are attacker-controlled strings derived from HTTP query parameters. The `text()` function creates a raw SQL fragment — it does **not** escape or parameterize its contents. Any authenticated Rucio user can exploit this through the DID search API to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database. This can expose all managed data identifiers and sensitive tables such as identities, tokens, accounts, rse_settings, and rules, and may allow modification of database contents. The issue affects Oracle deployments using the default json_meta plugin and does not affect PostgreSQL or MySQL deployments using that plugin. This vulnerability has been fixed in versions 35.8.5, 38.5.5, 39.4.2, and 40.1.1.

Summary

Rucio has SQL Injection in FilterEngine Oracle JSON Path via DID Search API

Details

Summary

A SQL injection vulnerability in the Oracle path of FilterEngine.create_sqla_query allows any authenticated Rucio user to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database through the DID search endpoint (GET /dids/<scope>/dids/search). Attacker-controlled filter keys and values are interpolated directly into sqlalchemy.text via Python str.format, completely bypassing parameterization. This enables full database compromise including extraction of authentication tokens, password hashes, and all managed data identifiers. The vulnerability is affecting deployments using the default metadata plugin configuration json_meta with Oracle database backends.

Details

Will follow in two weeks (2025-05-19).

Impact

Vulnerability type: SQL Injection (CWE-89)

Who is impacted:

All Oracle-based Rucio deployments using the default metadata plugin configuration (json_meta).
Not affected are PostgreSQL/MySQL deployments using the default json_meta plugin (SQLAlchemy parameterizes the JSON path operations via bind parameters on non-Oracle dialects).

What an attacker can do:

Full database read access: Extract any table including identities (password hashes and salts), tokens (active authentication sessions), accounts (user enumeration), rse_settings (storage endpoint credentials), and rules (data management policies).
Password hash extraction: Combined with Rucio's use of single-iteration SHA-256 for password hashing (no KDF), extracted hashes can be cracked at GPU speed.
Authentication token theft: Active bearer tokens can be extracted and used for immediate session hijacking.
Data modification: Oracle PL/SQL enables INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations via DML within subqueries and PL/SQL blocks.
Potential remote code execution: Via Oracle's UTL_HTTP, DBMS_SCHEDULER, or Java stored procedures if the database user has elevated privileges.

Required attacker privileges: Any authenticated Rucio user. Authentication tokens can be obtained via any supported method (userpass, x509, OIDC, SAML, SSH, GSS). No special roles or administrative permissions are required. The GET /dids/<scope>/dids/search endpoint is available to all authenticated users.

Attacker-controlled filter keys and values are interpolated directly into `sqlalchemy.text` via Python `str.format`, completely bypassing parameterization. This enables full database compromise including extraction of authentication tokens, password hashes, and all managed data identifiers. The vulnerability is affecting deployments using the default metadata plugin configuration `json_meta` with Oracle database backends.\n\n### Details\n\n*Will follow in two weeks (2025-05-19).*\n\n### Impact\n\n**Vulnerability type:** SQL Injection (CWE-89)\n\n**Who is impacted:**\n\n- **All Oracle-based Rucio deployments** using the default metadata plugin configuration (`json_meta`).\n- ***Not affected*** are PostgreSQL/MySQL deployments using the default `json_meta` plugin (SQLAlchemy parameterizes the JSON path operations via bind parameters on non-Oracle dialects).\n\n**What an attacker can do:**\n\n- **Full database read access:** Extract any table including `identities` (password hashes and salts), `tokens` (active authentication sessions), `accounts` (user enumeration), `rse_settings` (storage endpoint credentials), and `rules` (data management policies).\n- **Password hash extraction:** Combined with Rucio\u0027s use of single-iteration SHA-256 for password hashing (no KDF), extracted hashes can be cracked at GPU speed.\n- **Authentication token theft:** Active bearer tokens can be extracted and used for immediate session hijacking.\n- **Data modification:** Oracle PL/SQL enables `INSERT`/`UPDATE`/`DELETE` operations via DML within subqueries and PL/SQL blocks.\n- **Potential remote code execution:** Via Oracle\u0027s `UTL_HTTP`, `DBMS_SCHEDULER`, or Java stored procedures if the database user has elevated privileges.\n\n**Required attacker privileges:** Any authenticated Rucio user. Authentication tokens can be obtained via any supported method (userpass, x509, OIDC, SAML, SSH, GSS). No special roles or administrative permissions are required. The `GET /dids/\u003cscope\u003e/dids/search` endpoint is available to all authenticated users.",

      "value": "A SQL injection vulnerability in `FilterEngine.create_sqla_query()` allows any authenticated Rucio user to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database through the DID search endpoint (`GET /dids/\u003cscope\u003e/dids/search`). On Oracle deployments attacker-controlled filter keys and values are interpolated directly into `sqlalchemy.text()` via Python `.format()`, completely bypassing parameterization. This enables full database compromise including extraction of authentication tokens, password hashes, and all managed data identifiers. This affects versions 1.27.0 and later before 35.8.5, 38.5.5, 39.4.2, and 40.1.1.\n\nThe vulnerability exists in `lib/rucio/core/did_meta_plugins/filter_engine.py` within the `create_sqla_query()` method. When the database dialect is Oracle, filter expressions for JSON metadata columns are constructed using `text()` with Python string formatting. Both `key` and `value` are attacker-controlled strings derived from HTTP query parameters. The `text()` function creates a raw SQL fragment \u2014 it does **not** escape or parameterize its contents.\n\nAny authenticated Rucio user can exploit this through the DID search API to execute arbitrary SQL against the backend database. This can expose all managed data identifiers and sensitive tables such as identities, tokens, accounts, rse_settings, and rules, and may allow modification of database contents. The issue affects Oracle deployments using the default json_meta plugin and does not affect PostgreSQL or MySQL deployments using that plugin. \n\nThis vulnerability has been fixed in versions 35.8.5, 38.5.5, 39.4.2, and 40.1.1."
