DescriptionCVE.org

sqlparse is a non-validating SQL parser module for Python. Prior to 0.6.0, TokenList construction and string conversion in sqlparse/sql.py repeatedly flatten nested token subtrees constructed by group_parenthesis and group_case, causing quadratic CPU consumption through sqlparse.parse(), sqlparse.format(), and sqlparse.split() before depth and token limits terminate processing. This issue is fixed in version 0.6.0.

AnalysisAI

Quadratic CPU consumption in sqlparse versions prior to 0.6.0 allows unauthenticated remote denial-of-service via crafted deeply-nested SQL payloads submitted to any application calling sqlparse.parse(), sqlparse.format(), or sqlparse.split(). A ~2KB malicious input with 500-2000 nesting levels can consume approximately 10 seconds of CPU per request - a ~5000x amplification ratio - before depth or token limits raise a SQLParseError. …

Recon
Craft 2KB deeply-nested SQL payload

TokenList.__init__ triggers O(n×depth) subtree flattening per group

Send concurrent requests
Impact
Worker pool exhausted, service unavailable

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The application must pass attacker-controlled SQL strings directly to sqlparse.parse(), sqlparse.format(), or sqlparse.split() without prior input length or nesting-depth validation. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VA:H) accurately reflects the severity: any network-reachable application that passes user-controlled SQL strings to sqlparse is exploitable with no authentication, low complexity, and no user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker submits a ~2KB HTTP request body containing SQL of the form SELECT (((((1))))) ... with 500-2000 levels of parenthesis nesting to any public-facing API endpoint that internally calls sqlparse.parse() or sqlparse.format() on user-supplied input. …
Remediation Upgrade sqlparse to version 0.6.0 or later, which resolves the issue by replacing the O(subtree) str(self) call in TokenList.__init__ with a shallow join over only immediate child token values: ''.join(token.value for token in self.tokens). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all internal and third-party applications using sqlparse by checking requirements.txt, package-lock.json, and pom.xml across development, staging, and production environments to identify which systems and versions are currently deployed. …
