Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Gh-ost version <= 1.1.2 allows users to inject DSN strings via the `-database` parameter.
This is a low severity vulnerability as the attacker must have access to the target host or trick an administrator into executing a malicious `gh-ost` command on a host running `gh-ost`, plus network access from host running `gh-ost` to the attack's malicious MySQL server.
### Impact
This issue may lead to arbitrary local file read.
