CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-53448 — Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server

High CVSS 7.2

Coturn is a free open source implementation of TURN and STUN Server. Prior to 4.12.0, the coturn HTTPS admin panel passes HTTP query parameters directly into SQL queries via snprintf string interpolation without sanitization. The is_secure_string filter that protects the STUN protocol path is not applied to the admin panel's delete-user, delete-secret, and delete-IP operations, so an authenticated admin can inject arbitrary SQL through the du, ds, and dip parameters, gaining full database control and potentially OS-level access via PostgreSQL COPY TO PROGRAM. This issue is fixed in version 4.12.0.

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
