Impact
The two package search handlers, Search and SearchFeed, implemented in pkg/app/handler/packages/search.go, are affected by a SQL injection via the q parameter. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL queries on https://packages.gentoo.org/. It was also demonstrated that primitive was enough to gain code execution in the context of the PostgreSQL container.
Patches
The issue was addressed in 4fa6e4b using prepared statements to interpolate user-controlled data in SQL queries.
