Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the /api/v1/main/flows/search endpoint of Kestra, a default docker-compose deployment. An authenticated user can trigger the vulnerability by visiting a crafted link, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) via SQL Injection. The payload is executed by PostgreSQL, allowing arbitrary OS commands to be run on the host. This issue was patched in version 1.3.7. Affected product deployments should be identified in managed environments, and owners should be assigned for follow-up. The official advisory or CVE record should be reviewed to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance. Vendor-supported updates or mitigations should be planned through normal change control where exposure is confirmed. Compensating controls for exposed systems should be reviewed while remediation is scheduled and verified. Relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets should be checked, and exceptions should be tracked, and remediated assets should be retested, and the item should be closed only after evidence is documented.
