Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the MyScale (ClickHouse) vector store backend of Dify. The root cause is the direct interpolation of user-controlled search queries into ClickHouse SQL statements using f-strings within the `search_by_full_text` method, without proper escaping or parameterization. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request to the `/v1/datasets/{id}/hit-testing` endpoint with a malicious query string. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to read, modify, or delete data within the underlying ClickHouse database. The issue is fixed in version 1.16.0-rc1.
