CVE-2026-118992: CallBackery OS command execution via sqlite3 shell in backup restore

CVE-2026-118992 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-30

CallBackery is a Perl-based application framework that uses SQLite databases to store configuration. The vulnerability allows anyone with the ability to provide a backup file to execute arbitrary operating system commands by embedding shell directives in the database dump, which are processed by the sqlite3 command-line tool during restoration. An attacker could gain full control of the application server and access sensitive data.

How to fix

Fixed in: 0.62.0

Technical details

The restoreConfigBlob() function passes a database dump directly to the sqlite3 shell without sanitizing input, allowing shell metacommands like .shell, .system, and .load to execute arbitrary code. This requires an attacker to supply a malicious backup file that will be restored, and the vulnerability is fixed in version 0.62.0 by replaying the database as plain SQL and refusing shell commands and certain SQL constructs.
