Short explanation
A vulnerability in Stirling-PDF prior to version 2.13.2 allows an authenticated administrator to achieve remote code execution by uploading a crafted SQL file through the H2 database.
This critical flaw allows an authorized attacker to execute commands under the JVM service account context and access arbitrary files.
What should be done?
- Upgrade to version 2.13.2 or later
- Follow vendor advisory guidance
- Restrict database import endpoints
The sources give limited detail on some technical conditions. Review the chain of evidence below before deciding how to act.
Chain of evidence and sources
Stirling-PDF 2.13.2 öncesi sürümlerde, kimliği doğrulanmış bir yönetici H2 veritabanı üzerinden zararlı SQL dosyası yükleyebilir.
Yetersiz doğrulama mantığı, FILE_READ ve CSVWRITE gibi tehlikeli H2 işlevlerinin çalışmasına izin verir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Stirling-PDF is a locally hosted web application that facilitates various operations on PDF files. Prior to 2.13.2, an authenticated administrator using the default H2 database and security mode can upload a crafted SQL file to POST /api/v1/database/import-database. DatabaseService.validateSqlContent() splits normalized input on semicolons and accepts a statement when it contains any allowed keyword, allowing dangerous H2 functions such as FILE_READ and CSVWRITE, plus CREATE ALIAS, to bypass the insufficient whitelist and execute side effects when RUNSCRIPT processes the file. This permits arbitrary file access. The demonstrated operating-system command execution chain writes attacker-controlled startup files to a user-site location and then triggers an application Python interpreter configured to load those startup files, resulting in command execution as the JVM service account. This issue is fixed in version 2.13.2.
