CVE-2025-1793 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.8 · Published 2025-06-05

LlamaIndex, a popular framework for connecting custom data to Large Language Models (LLMs), contains a vulnerability in how it handles database queries. An attacker could exploit this to read, modify, or delete sensitive information stored in the application's database. This could lead to unauthorized access to user data or a complete compromise of the data used by the AI application.

Technologies: [Llamaindex](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/llamaindex), [llama-index (PyPI)](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/llama-index). Vendors: [Llamaindex](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/llamaindex), [PyPI](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/pypi).

**Am I affected by CVE-2025-1793?** Check whether you run Llamaindex or llama-index (PyPI) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

## How to fix

- llama-index (PyPI): upgrade to 0.12.28 or later

  ```sh
  pip install "llama-index>=0.12.28"
  ```


## Technical details

Multiple vector store integrations in llama-index (before version 0.12.28) fail to properly neutralize special elements used in SQL commands, leading to a CWE-89 SQL Injection vulnerability. The root cause is the construction of SQL queries using externally-influenced input without sufficient sanitization or parameterized queries. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending crafted input to an application using the library, enabling them to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This allows for unauthorized reading and writing of data within the underlying database. The vulnerability was addressed in version 0.12.28.
