Description

Navidrome is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. Versions 0.55.0 through 0.55.2 have a vulnerability due to improper input validation on the `role` parameter within the API endpoint `/api/artist`. Attackers can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary SQL queries, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the backend database and compromising sensitive user information. Version 0.56.0 contains a patch for the issue.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
