Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
CKAN versions before 2.10.10 and from 2.11.0 before 2.11.5 are affected by a flaw in datastore_search_sql. An unauthenticated attacker can inject SQL to read private resources and PostgreSQL system information. Upgrade to CKAN 2.10.10 or 2.11.5. Alternatively, set ckan.datastore.sqlsearch.enabled to false, which is disabled by default.
