CVE-2026-54658
Hypequery is a TypeScript semantic layer for ClickHouse. Prior to 2.5.1, escapeValue() in packages/clickhouse/src/core/utils.ts did not escape backslashes before single quotes during parameter substitution, allowing attacker controlled query parameters with a trailing backslash to escape the closing quote and inject arbitrary SQL. This issue is fixed in version 2.0.2. Version 2.0.2 fixes string parameters, while version 2.5.1 fixes all known vectors. Upgrading to 2.5.1 or later is the only complete fix. In versions 2.0.2 through 2.5.0, serializing non-scalar parameters with JSON.stringify() before passing them is a workaround for the object/array vector only.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Unescaped input is placed into an SQL query, letting the attacker read or alter the database (SQL injection).
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
