AI Threat Summary
CVE-2026-47252 is a critical vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.0 affecting the target software. This vulnerability allows SQL injection leading to unauthorized data access. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.
Description
Anyquery is an SQL query engine built on top of SQLite. Prior to 0.4.5, authenticated users with INSERT or UPDATE access to affected macOS virtual tables can execute operating-system commands because the Chrome plugin and equivalent Brave, Edge, and Safari variants interpolate a SQL-controlled URL into AppleScript or JXA source passed to osascript. In plugins/chrome/tabs.go, tabsTable.Insert() passes the URL through fmt.Sprintf(newTabScript, url), and tabsTable.Update() uses fmt.Sprintf(setURLScript, pk, url). A URL containing quote and newline characters can break out of the intended string or property record and append script statements, resulting in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the anyquery process on the macOS host. This issue is fixed in version 0.4.5.
