CVE-2026-4507
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 vulnerability was determined in Mindinventory MindSQL up to 0.2.1. The affected element is the function ask_db of the file mindsql/core/mindsql_core.py. Executing a manipulation can lead to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
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 Mindinventory MindSQL up to v0.2.1 in the ask_db function within mindsql/core/mindsql_core.py. The function likely constructs SQL queries through unsanitized string concatenation, allowing remote attackers to inject malicious SQL commands via user-controlled input.

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.
-
Identify MindSQL installation and versionRun 'pip show mindsql' or check the package version in your environment (e.g., pip list | grep -i mindsql)Affected if Installed version is v0.2.1 or earlier (no fixed version is indicated in this CVE)
-
Locate the vulnerable fileCheck if the file mindsql/core/mindsql_core.py exists in your MindSQL installation directoryAffected if The file exists and is from version v0.2.1 or earlier
-
Verify the ask_db function uses string concatenationInspect the ask_db function in mindsql/core/mindsql_core.py and look for SQL query construction via string concatenation or f-strings without parameterized queriesAffected if The function builds SQL queries using string formatting/concatenation with user input rather than prepared statements or parameterized queries
-
Confirm database input is user-controlledReview how the ask_db function is called and whether any user-supplied data (HTTP requests, API calls, user variables) flows into the SQL query constructionAffected if User-controlled input directly reaches the ask_db function without sanitization before being incorporated into SQL queries
You are affected if MindSQL v0.2.1 or earlier is installed, the mindsql/core/mindsql_core.py file contains the ask_db function, and user input flows into SQL queries constructed via string concatenation without parameterization.

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/prepared statements to replace vulnerable string concatenation in the ask_db function, and validate/sanitize all database inputs. Until an official patch is released, restrict network access to the affected function and monitor for exploitation attempts.
