CWE-89Published: February 22, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
Misskey is an open source, decentralized social media platform. In versions prior to 13.3.3 SQL injection is possible due to insufficient parameter validation in the note search API by tag (notes/search-by-tag). This has been fixed in version 13.3.3. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should block access to the `api/notes/search-by-tag` endpoint.
Risk Analysis
Misskey is vulnerable to SQL injection in the note search API due to insufficient parameter validation. This critical flaw allows remote attackers to execute unauthorized database queries.
This vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity, but no public exploit is known and it is not in the KEV.
Upgrade to Misskey version 13.3.3 or later; if upgrading is not possible, block access to the api/notes/search-by-tag endpoint.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-24812 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-89): SQL injection vulnerabilities allow attackers to manipulate database queries, potentially exposing or modifying sensitive data.
