Summary
Trigger.dev before 4.5.6 contains an SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the /realtime/v1/runs endpoint, which concatenates the unescaped tags query parameter into the ElectricSQL shape where clause. The injected input defeats the runtimeEnvironmentId tenant guard. An authenticated attacker holding any project API key with read:runs scope can append boolean conditions to stream TaskRun records, including payloads and metadata, from every organization on the same self-hosted instance.
