CVE-2024-29031: Meshery SQL Injection vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 30/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.95% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 61.2% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: github.com/layer5io/meshery (Go) 0.7.17.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/layer5io/meshery (Go) 0.7.17 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Meshery is an open source, cloud native manager that enables the design and management of Kubernetes-based infrastructure and applications. A SQL injection vulnerability in Meshery prior to version 0.7.17 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the `order` parameter of `GetMeshSyncResources`. Version 0.7.17 contains a patch for this issue.
