CVE-2026-65651
temporalio/sqlparser deeply nested unary expressions can cause a fatal stack overflow during AST traversal
Description

temporalio/sqlparser accepts SQL containing deeply nested unary expressions and can return a correspondingly deep abstract syntax tree without enforcing an applicable nesting limit. The library's String and Walk operations recursively traverse that tree. An application that parses attacker-controlled SQL and later formats or walks the returned tree can encounter a runtime-fatal Go stack overflow that terminates the process; Go panic recovery cannot contain this condition. Temporal Server passes caller-controlled query input through the affected parser in archival, visibility, and worker-query paths. In affected validation paths, the Server recursively formats an invalid expression while constructing an error. In a supported authenticated deployment, a caller with namespace read permission can terminate the receiving Frontend or Matching process. The dynamically confirmed ListWorkers route additionally requires at least one retained worker heartbeat. Repeated requests can sustain a denial of service. The issue affects availability only; no confidentiality or integrity impact was identified.

Solution
Limit recursion depth in SQL parsing to prevent stack overflows and denial of service.
  • Update the SQL parser library to a version with recursion limits.
  • Implement input validation for SQL query complexity.
  • Enforce query size limits before parsing.
  • Monitor system resources for unusual activity.
