Arbitrary File Read in Anyquery Server Mode via SQLite Virtual Table Modules

IdentifiersCVE-2026-54629CWE-552

CVE-2026-54629 is an arbitrary file read vulnerability in Anyquery when operated in server mode. The MySQL-compatible server interface exposes SQLite virtual table modules, including file-backed readers such as csv_reader and log_reader, without sufficient path restriction or sandboxing. An unauthenticated remote attacker can issue queries that cause the server to open and read local files accessible to the Anyquery process. The flaw stems from unrestricted access to local filesystem resources through exposed virtual table functionality, enabling retrieval of sensitive server-side file contents.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote disclosure of arbitrary local files readable by the Anyquery server process. This can expose sensitive configuration data, credentials, application secrets, and other locally stored information, creating a high confidentiality impact. The available information does not indicate direct code execution or privilege escalation from this issue alone.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Do not expose Anyquery server mode to untrusted networks. Bind the service only to trusted interfaces, place it behind network access controls, and limit access to authorized clients. Until a fixed release is deployed, implement directory or path restrictions for virtual table modules that read from the filesystem, or disable such functionality if possible. Running the service with a minimally privileged account can further reduce accessible file scope.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade to a vendor-fixed release once available. The vulnerable behavior should be remediated by enforcing filesystem sandboxing in server mode, such as restricting virtual table file access to explicitly allowed directories through a path allowlist or equivalent restriction mechanism. Review server deployments for unnecessary exposure and reduce the Anyquery process's filesystem permissions to the minimum required.
