CVE-2025-69285: SQLBot missing authentication on Excel upload endpoint allows database injection

Summary

SQLBot, an LLM and RAG-based data query system, contains a missing authentication flaw in versions prior to 1.5.0. The /api/v1/datasource/uploadExcel endpoint is on the authentication whitelist, so TokenMiddleware skips token validation, letting a remote unauthenticated attacker upload arbitrary Excel/CSV files. Uploaded files are parsed by pandas and written to the PostgreSQL database via to_sql() with if_exists='replace', allowing direct data injection.

Mitigation

Fixed in v1.5.0. No known workarounds are available.
