CVE-2026-121453 is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. No public exploit code is tracked. It is rated CVSS 5.1 (medium) and affects SQLBot; a fix or patch is referenced.

## Summary

SQLBot, an AI-powered SQL query tool, is affected by a flaw in its data import feature that lets a logged-in workspace administrator access files outside the intended upload location. This could allow them to read other workspaces' uploaded files and files stored on the server, exposing sensitive data.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- dataease SQLBot: through 1.10.3

## Description

SQLBot through 1.10.3 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the importToDb endpoint that allows authenticated workspace administrators to read files via an unsanitized filePath parameter. Attackers can supply absolute paths or ../ sequences to import CSV or spreadsheet files, including other workspaces' uploads and server files, into queryable excel_* tables.

## What to do
