  "details": "# SQLChatAgent `_validate_query` dangerous-pattern regex is bypassable via quoted/commented/qualified function names\n\n## Summary\n\nThe `SQLChatAgent` SQL-injection mitigation, with default `allow_dangerous_operations=False`, combines a raw-text regex blocklist (`_DANGEROUS_SQL_PATTERNS`) with a `sqlglot` SELECT-only statement allowlist. The blocklist entries that target callable functions require the function name to be immediately followed by `\\s*\\(`.\n\nPostgreSQL accepts the same call with the name separated from `(` by a quoted identifier, an inline comment, or schema qualification. These forms evade the regex, still parse as `SELECT`, and execute the same PostgreSQL function. This restores the `pg_read_file` server-side file-read primitive that the prior CVE-2026-25879 / GHSA-pmch-g965-grmr fix was meant to block: the parent advisory fixed a missing `pg_read_file` blocklist entry, while this report shows that the added regex is bypassable.\n\n## Affected Code\n\nTested against current `main` commit:\n\n`6e8e7b2bb23ec04c1c25be479f16b8cc9a4f8796`\n\nThe current source still contains:\n\n```python\nre.compile(r\"\\bpg_(read|stat|ls|current_logfile)[A-Za-z0-9_]*\\s*\\(\", re.IGNORECASE)\n```\n\n`_validate_query` checks the raw query against `_DANGEROUS_SQL_PATTERNS`, then parses with `sqlglot` and allows `SELECT` statements. The dangerous-call check is raw text, not normalized AST function-name matching.\n\n## Root Cause\n\nThe current mitigation treats dangerous PostgreSQL function calls as a raw-text regex problem. The regex requires the `pg_...` function token to be followed directly by optional whitespace and `(`, but PostgreSQL accepts equivalent calls through quoted identifiers, comments, and schema-qualified names. Because `_validate_query` only uses `sqlglot` to enforce the top-level statement type, those normalized function names are never checked after parsing.\n\n## Auth Boundary\n\nThe boundary is the default `SQLChatAgent` safety policy between attacker-influenced SQL generation and database operations that can read server-side files. With `allow_dangerous_operations=False`, a user or prompt that influences generated SQL should not be able to bypass the guard and execute PostgreSQL file-read functions such as `pg_read_file`.\n\nThis is not a new unauthenticated endpoint or product-wide SQL injection; it applies when untrusted user content can influence SQLChatAgent\u0027s generated SQL.\n\n## Reproduction\n\nThe local harness uses the current `sql_chat_agent.py`, extracts the real shipped dangerous regex list, validates the queries with real `sqlglot==30.8.0`, then executes the accepted bypasses against a local throwaway PostgreSQL 16 container.\n\nTranscript excerpt:\n\n```text\nCONTROL   \"SELECT pg_read_file(\u0027/etc/passwd\u0027)\" -\u003e REJECTED: matches \u0027\\\\bpg_(read|stat|ls|current_logfile)[A-Za-z0-9_]*\\\\s*\\\\(\u0027\nBYPASS    \u0027SELECT \"pg_read_file\"(\\\u0027/etc/passwd\\\u0027)\u0027 -\u003e ALLOWED (validator returned None -\u003e would execute)\nBYPASS    \"SELECT pg_read_file/**/(\u0027/etc/passwd\u0027)\" -\u003e ALLOWED (validator returned None -\u003e would execute)\nBYPASS    \u0027SELECT pg_catalog.\"pg_read_file\"(\\\u0027/etc/passwd\\\u0027)\u0027 -\u003e ALLOWED (validator returned None -\u003e would execute)\n\n=== Part B: real PostgreSQL execution of the bypass ===\nconnected; is_superuser=t\n  executed bypass \u0027SELECT \"pg_read_file\"(\\\u0027\u003cfile\u003e\\\u0027)\u0027 -\u003e file contents returned: \u0027LANGROID_SAFE_MARKER_...\u0027\n  executed bypass \"SELECT pg_read_file/**/(\u0027\u003cfile\u003e\u0027)\" -\u003e file contents returned: \u0027LANGROID_SAFE_MARKER_...\u0027\n  executed bypass \u0027SELECT pg_catalog.\"pg_read_file\"(\\\u0027\u003cfile\u003e\\\u0027)\u0027 -\u003e file contents returned: \u0027LANGROID_SAFE_MARKER_...\u0027\n\nRESULT: VULNERABLE\n```\n\nThe control query is blocked by the current regex, while all three equivalent PostgreSQL forms are allowed by the validator and return the mounted proof file contents from a real PostgreSQL server. The `LANGROID_SAFE_MARKER_...` value is a harmless marker generated inside the throwaway local container for this proof.\n\n## Impact\n\nOn a deployment using `SQLChatAgent` against PostgreSQL with a role able to call `pg_read_file` (superuser, or a role granted `pg_read_server_files`), an attacker who can influence LLM-generated SQL can coerce the agent into emitting one of the obfuscated queries and read files accessible to the PostgreSQL server process through `pg_read_file`.\n\nThis is the same impact and precondition shape as the published `pg_read_file` advisory, but it targets the bypassability of the current regex-based fix rather than the pre-fix absence of a `pg_read_file` block.\n\nSeverity: High by parity with the published parent advisory; not Critical. CWE-184 leading to server-side file read.\n\n## Suggested Fix\n\nDo not rely on raw-text regex matching for dangerous-call detection. After the existing `sqlglot` parse, walk the AST and reject any function invocation whose normalized, unquoted, schema-stripped, case-folded name is in a dangerous set such as `pg_read_file`, `pg_read_binary_file`, `pg_ls_dir`, `pg_stat_file`, `lo_import`, `lo_export`, `load_file`, or `load_extension`.\n\nAlso recommend running SQLChatAgent with a least-privilege database role that lacks `pg_read_server_files`.",
