CVE-2025-61141: sqls-server/sqls is vulnerable to command injection in the config command

October 30, 2025 (updated November 5, 2025)

sqls-server/sqls 0.2.28 is vulnerable to command injection in the config command because the openEditor function passes the EDITOR environment variable and config file path to sh -c without sanitization, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

This issue has been patched via commit https://github.com/sqls-server/sqls/commit/468a23fc89af89f632cc023a10c031e4bc781797.
