Summary
SQLBot is a system that converts natural language questions into SQL database queries using AI and RAG (retrieval-augmented generation, where external data sources help the AI answer questions). Before version 1.9.0, the system failed to safely handle user-supplied table names when building SQL queries, allowing authenticated attackers to use special PostgreSQL functions to read sensitive files like /etc/passwd (which contains user account information) and configuration files, potentially exposing secrets and source code.
Solution / Mitigation
Update to version 1.9.0 or later. According to the source, 'This issue is fixed in version 1.9.0.'
