CVE-2026-108963
databasement before 1.8.2 allows remote code execution because it runs certain commands (e.g., mariadb-dump) with a database name that can be specified by any authenticated user.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.69%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
databasement before 1.8.2 allows remote code execution because it runs certain commands (e.g., mariadb-dump) with a database name that can be specified by any authenticated user. For example, --result-file=/app/public/index.php can write to index.php. In other words, quoting prevents OS command injection in mariadb-dump, but the argument injection alone is sufficient for code execution indirectly. NOTE: the project's composer.json file does not indicate an independently published databasement Composer package.
