CVE-2026-10176
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA weakness has been identified in Aider-AI Aider 0.86.3. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Code Generation Workflow. Executing a manipulation can lead to sql injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in Aider-AI Aider version 0.86.3 within the Code Generation Workflow component. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries through unknown functionality of the code generation process.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Determine installed Aider versionRun `aider --version` or `pip show aider` to retrieve the exact version number of the Aider installationAffected if Version is 0.86.3 (the affected version)
-
Identify if Code Generation Workflow is in useReview Aider configuration files (e.g., `.aider.conf.yml`, `aider.conf.py`) or runtime settings to determine if the Code Generation Workflow feature is enabled or has been usedAffected if Code Generation Workflow is enabled or configured in the environment
-
Inspect database connectivity in Code Generation WorkflowExamine any database configuration files, environment variables (e.g., DATABASE_URL, DB_CONNECTION), or settings files that define database connections used by the code generation workflowAffected if Database connections are defined and accessible to the Code Generation Workflow component
-
Review network exposure of Aider serviceCheck if Aider is bound to a network interface (0.0.0.0) or exposed via web server configuration, and verify firewall rules or access controls limiting remote access to the Aider serviceAffected if Aider service is exposed to untrusted network paths (remote exploitation vector)
-
Audit recent SQL query logs or database access patternsReview application logs, database query logs, or audit trails for the Aider service to identify any suspicious or unauthorized SQL statements that may indicate exploitation attemptsAffected if Unusual SQL statements or unauthorized query patterns are present in logs
A user is affected if they are running Aider version 0.86.3 with the Code Generation Workflow enabled and connected to a database, especially if the service is network-accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements in the code generation workflow to prevent SQL injection. If a patched version becomes available, upgrade immediately. Conduct thorough input validation on all user-supplied data before constructing SQL queries.
