Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to path traversal in the Sql Database Chain node when accepting a user-supplied sqlite file path. A remote user can supply a crafted sqlite database path and trigger processing of attacker-controlled database content to execute arbitrary code.
Exploitation was demonstrated against the published Docker image and relied on writing a crafted sqlite database file into /etc/chromium so it would later be sourced by chromium as a shell script.
