Summary
sqlparse is a non-validating SQL parser module for Python.
Prior to 0.6.0, sqlparse/filters/output.py fails to escape existing backslashes before quotes in sqlparse.format output_format='python' and output_format='php' and the corresponding sqlformat -l modes, allowing crafted SQL to terminate the generated string and inject Python or PHP code when a downstream consumer executes or imports the generated source.
This issue is fixed in version 0.6.0. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, significantly impacting the confidentiality and integrity of the system.
