Summary

CVE-2026-33121 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Dataease Dataease. Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 26th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2026-33121 is a SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in DataEase, an open-source data visualization and analytics platform. It affects versions 2.10.20 and below, specifically in the API datasource saving process. The deTableName field, extracted from a Base64-encoded datasource configuration, is used to construct a DDL statement via simple string replacement without sanitization or escaping of the table name, allowing injection of arbitrary SQL commands.

An authenticated attacker with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this remotely (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). By crafting a deTableName value that breaks out of identifier quoting, the attacker enables error-based SQL injection to extract database information, such as the MySQL version.

The issue has been fixed in DataEase version 2.10.21. Mitigation details are available in the GitHub security advisory (GHSA-fg4m-q7ch-jqv5) and release notes for v2.10.21.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
prevents

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.

finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
