CVE-2026-61620
HoneySQL unchecked entity names can lead to SQL injection results
HoneySQL turns Clojure data structures into SQL. From 2.0.0 until 2.7.1392, applications that pass user input or other arbitrary data into the HoneySQL DSL by calling keyword or symbol on that input can produce SQL strings that facilitate SQL injection when executed unchanged by a JDBC driver. Some formatters do not apply the existing suspicious-character check to the resulting entity names. The impact depends on the privileges of the database connection executing the generated statement. Input validation before constructing keyword or symbol entities is a workaround. The maintainer-designated fixed version is 2.7.1392.
