Local write access to a FIM-monitored directory is required (AV:L, PR:L); impact confined to FIM SQLite SELECT manipulation with no scope change or full system compromise.

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.6.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3, DB::getFile() and DB::searchFile() in src/syscheckd/src/db/src/file.cpp concatenate a monitored file path into SQLite row filters. On non-Windows systems, FIMDBCreator::encodeString() does not escape the value. A local user who can create a filename in a File Integrity Monitoring directory can inject a UNION SELECT expression when wazuh-syscheckd processes or deletes that path. The confirmed primitive manipulates SELECT result sets consumed by the FIM code; stacked statements and remote code execution were not demonstrated. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta3.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Wazuh's File Integrity Monitoring subsystem allows a local low-privileged user on non-Windows systems to manipulate the FIM SQLite database by creating a specially crafted filename in any monitored directory. The wazuh-syscheckd daemon in versions 4.6.0 through 4.14.5 concatenates unsanitized file paths directly into SQLite row filter predicates in DB::getFile() and DB::searchFile(), enabling UNION SELECT injection when the path is processed. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be authenticated to the host OS as a local user with filesystem write permissions to at least one directory actively listed in Wazuh's FIM monitoring configuration (e.g., via `<directories>` in `ossec.conf`). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) accurately captures the attack surface: local access with low privileges gates exploitation, preventing network-based or unauthenticated abuse. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Wazuh 4.14.6 or 5.0.0-beta3, both of which resolve the injection by replacing string-concatenated SQL predicates with parameterized bind statements throughout the `dbsync` query layer. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
