CVE-2026-120441: OwnTone Server through 29.3 SQL Injection via MPD sticker find Command
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)
- 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: 0.50% (FIRST EPSS).
- 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.
- No fixed version is recorded, but the references include a patch (commit or PR) link.
Low priority for now. See the fix and affected versions sections below.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
OwnTone Server through 29.3 contains an sql injection vulnerability in mpd_sticker_find() in src/mpd.c that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject SQL via the URI argument. Attackers can send a crafted 'sticker find song' command to the MPD listener on TCP port 6600 to bypass path restrictions and enumerate all media files with filesystem paths and metadata.
