CVE-2026-47253

Anyquery: Path Traversal in `clear_plugin_cache` Allows Arbitrary Directory Deletion

7.3 HighFix available

Anyquery is an SQL query engine built on top of SQLite. Prior to 0.4.5, the clear_plugin_cache(plugin) SQL scalar function in namespace/other_functions.go passes the caller-controlled plugin parameter through path.Join to os.RemoveAll without rejecting traversal segments. A low-privileged bearer-token holder can invoke the function through the /v1/query HTTP endpoint, causing path.Join to resolve .. segments outside $XDG_CACHE_HOME/anyquery/plugins/ and os.RemoveAll to recursively delete any reachable directory writable by the Anyquery server process. This causes permanent data loss and denial of service without disclosing file contents. This issue is fixed in version 0.4.5.

Anyquery has Path Traversal through `clear_plugin_cache`, Allowing Arbitrary Directory Deletion

Path Traversal in clear_plugin_cache Allows Arbitrary Directory Deletion

| Field | Value | | ---------------- | ----- | | Repository | julien040/anyquery | | Affected version | 0.4.4 | | Vulnerability | CWE-22 — Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory | | Severity | High |

Summary

The SQL scalar function clear_plugin_cache(plugin) in namespace/other_functions.go passes the caller-supplied plugin argument directly to path.Join and then to os.RemoveAll, with only an empty-string check as a guard. Because path.Join silently resolves .. segments, a low-privileged bearer-token holder can submit SELECT clear_plugin_cache('../../../../tmp/target') to the /v1/query HTTP endpoint and delete any directory reachable by the server process. In the verified scenario, a directory outside $XDG_CACHE_HOME/anyquery/plugins/ was successfully deleted, confirming full path-traversal exploitation.

Affected Code

namespace/other_functions.go:46 — pathlib.Join resolves .. segments in attacker-controlled plugin, producing a path outside the cache root

namespace/other_functions.go:53 — os.RemoveAll unconditionally deletes the traversed path

func clear_plugin_cache(plugin string) string {
	pathToRemove := pathlib.Join(xdg.CacheHome, "anyquery", "plugins", plugin)

	if plugin == "" {
		return "The plugin name is empty"
	}

	// Remove the directory
	err := os.RemoveAll(pathToRemove)
	if err != nil {
		return err.Error()
	}

	return ""
}
