CVE-2024-12909: LlamaIndex SQL Injection vulnerability

March 20, 2025 (updated March 21, 2025)

A vulnerability in the FinanceChatLlamaPack of the run-llama/llama_index repository, versions up to v0.12.3, allows for SQL injection in the run_sql_query function of the database_agent. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL queries, leading to remote code execution (RCE) through the use of PostgreSQL’s large object functionality. The issue is fixed in the stale_packages branch.
