Tencent WeKnora is an open-source knowledge platform that converts documents into queryable databases and AI agents. A vulnerability in its SQL validation allows users with basic "Viewer" roles to bypass security checks and read any file from the server or documents from other workspaces through a SQL injection weakness. An attacker can access sensitive data belonging to other users and compromise document confidentiality across the entire system.

Technical details

The validateSubquery function in internal/utils/inject.go fails to inspect compound set operations (UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT) in subqueries, unlike the top-level validateSelectStmt function which rejects them. An attacker can nest a RangeFunction (forbidden in FROM clauses) inside a UNION branch where it is not validated, and the DuckDB data_analysis tool permits FROM subqueries without calling WithNoSubqueries(). This allows bypassing table whitelist enforcement and reading arbitrary files via DuckDB's file system access functions.

Affected products

  • Tencent WeKnora up to 0.8.1
