Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CVE-2025-50983 is a significant vulnerability that was discovered in the readarr software version 0.4.15.2787. This vulnerability primarily affects those who use readarr for managing their books and could lead to potential system compromise or data leakage. In the ever-growing field of cybersecurity, such vulnerabilities can pose severe threats to the integrity<\/a>, confidentiality, and availability of data if not resolved promptly. The severity of this vulnerability highlights the importance of regular system<\/a> updates and thorough security practices.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-50983

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

readarr | 0.4.15.2787<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exploit takes advantage of a SQL Injection vulnerability<\/a> in the sortKey parameter of the GET \/api\/v1\/wanted\/cutoff API endpoint in readarr 0.4.15.2787. The endpoint fails to sanitize user-supplied input correctly, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary SQL<\/a> commands against the backend SQLite database. Attackers can use tools such as Sqlmap for exploitation via stacked queries, demonstrating that the parameter can be misused to run arbitrary SQL statements. A heavy query can be executed using SQLite’s RANDOMBLOB() and HEX() functions to simulate a time-based payload, indicating deep control over database interactions.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP GET request:<\/p>\n

GET \/api\/v1\/wanted\/cutoff?sortKey=1%3BDELETE+FROM+users HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n
This request attempts to exploit the vulnerability by inserting a SQL<\/a> command (`1;DELETE FROM users`) in the sortKey parameter. If successful, this could lead to deletion of all users from the ‘users’ table in the database<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
