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 · unedited
CocoIndex is a data transformation framework for AI. Prior to version 0.3.34, the Doris target connector didn't verify the configured table name before creating some SQL statements (ALTER TABLE). So, in the application code, if the table name is provided by an untrusted upstream, it expose vulnerability to SQL injection when target schema change. This issue has been patched in version 0.3.34.

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 confidence

The Doris target connector in CocoIndex (data transformation framework for AI) fails to validate table names before constructing ALTER TABLE SQL statements. When table names are sourced from untrusted upstream inputs, attackers can inject malicious SQL through the table name parameter during schema change operations, leading to arbitrary SQL execution on the database.

MitigationUpgrade to CocoIndex version 0.3.34 or later which includes table name validation. Until patched, implement strict allowlist-based input validation for table names and avoid using untrusted inputs in SQL statement construction.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify CocoIndex version
    Run 'pip show cocoindex' or check your dependency management system to find the installed version of the cocoindex package
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 0.3.34
  2. Confirm Doris connector usage
    Inspect your CocoIndex pipeline configuration files or code to determine if the Doris target connector is being used for data operations
    Affected if The Doris connector is actively configured and used in your data transformation pipeline
  3. Check table name source
    Review the data flow that provides table names to the Doris connector ALTER TABLE operations; examine upstream data sources, configuration parameters, or user inputs that feed into table name fields
    Affected if Table names are sourced from untrusted or user-controlled inputs without validation before being passed to the Doris connector

You are affected if CocoIndex version is below 0.3.34 AND the Doris connector is in use AND table names originate from unvalidated/untrusted upstream inputs.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Interim mitigation

Upgrade to CocoIndex version 0.3.34 or later which includes table name validation. Until patched, implement strict allowlist-based input validation for table names and avoid using untrusted inputs in SQL statement construction.

Recommended fix High confidence

0.3.34

  1. Verify current installed version of cocoindex (e.g., pip show cocoindex or check requirements.txt)
  2. Upgrade cocoindex to version 0.3.34 using your package manager (e.g., pip install cocoindex==0.3.34 or pip install -U cocoindex)
  3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version matches 0.3.34
