Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from two key points: 1) In views.py's get_chart_data route handler, the 'query' parameter is extracted from untrusted HTTP requests and passed to run_query without validation. 2) run_query executes this input via pandas' query() method using the inherently unsafe 'python' engine. The GitHub patch adds a security gate (enable_custom_filters check) in get_chart_data, confirming these were the vulnerable entry points. The CWE-74 classification and commit diff both indicate improper neutralization of injection vectors in these functions.
