These queries are insufficiently sanitized before being passed to \`duckdb\`, leading to a command injection and local file inclusion vulnerability. Any user with the VIEWER or higher permission is capable of executing this attack. The \`duckdb\` binary must be present in Grafana's $PATH for this attack to function; by default, this binary is not installed in Grafana distributions.
