The UCP "login-link" flow (`ucp.php?mode=login_link`) lets an attacker choose which authentication provider handles the login via a fully attacker-controlled `auth_provider` request parameter. By selecting the bundled `apache` provider and sending an HTTP Basic `Authorization` header that carries any existing username (e.g. `admin`), an unauthenticated remote attacker obtains a valid phpBB session as that user — including administrators — **without knowing the password**. The `apache` provider trusts `PHP_AUTH_USER` from the Basic header and returns `LOGIN_SUCCESS` after a database lookup without ever validating the password, after which `ucp_login_link` calls `$user->session_create()`. The flaw is present in the **default** `auth_method=db` installation; OAuth does not need to be configured. Fixed in phpBB 3.3.17 (2026-06-06). ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** `phpBB/includes/ucp/ucp_login_link.php` (attacker-controlled provider selection) combined with `phpBB/phpbb/auth/provider/apache.php` (password-less `login()`). - **Affected versions:** phpBB 3.3.0 through 3.3.16, and 4.0.0-a2. Default `auth_method=db` boards are vulnerable out of the box. - **Risk level and consequences:** Critical (CVSS 9.8). A single unauthenticated HTTP request hijacks any known account. Logging in as an administrator yields full board control (ACP access, user management, extension installation, persisted backdoors). Usernames are public on phpBB boards, so admin/moderator accounts are trivially targetable. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Unauthenticated remote account hijacking of arbitrary known accounts (including administrators) → full board compromise; no password, no prior access, no user interaction. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Full parity. Against a real running phpBB 3.3.16 (Apache 2.4 + mod_php 8.2 + SQLite, default `auth_method=db`, installed via the official CLI installer) a single unauthenticated POST to `ucp.php?mode=login_link&auth_provider=apache&login_link_aikido=1` with `Authorization: Basic admin:x` (password `x` deliberately wrong) returned a `302` response that set the session cookie `phpbb3_..._u=2` (the administrator account, `user_id=2`, `user_type=USER_FOUNDER`). Reloading `index.php` with that stolen session rendered the page as the `admin` user and showed the **Administration Control Panel** link (`adm/index.php`) — an admin-only UI element — confirming a genuine administrator session. The same request against phpBB 3.3.17 left the session as anonymous (`_u=1`) and produced no admin session. - **Parity:** `full`. - **Not demonstrated:** N/A — the claimed impact (authz bypass / admin account takeover) was demonstrated end-to-end on the real product. ## Root Cause Two cooperating defects form the exploit chain: 1. **Attacker-controlled auth provider.** In `ucp_login_link::main()` the provider is resolved from the request: ```php // phpBB/includes/ucp/ucp_login_link.php (3.3.16) $provider_collection = $phpbb_container->get('auth.provider_collection'); $auth_provider = $provider_collection->get_provider($request->variable('auth_provider', '')); ``` The `auth_provider` value is taken verbatim from the request (GET or POST), so an attacker can force the use of **any** registered provider class under `phpbb/auth/provider/`, not only the board's configured `auth_method`. 2. **Password-less `apache` provider.** `phpbb/auth/provider/apache.php::login()` decodes `PHP_AUTH_USER`/`PHP_AUTH_PW` from the HTTP Basic `Authorization` header, requires that `PHP_AUTH_USER === $username`, looks the user up in the database, and — for an active user — returns `LOGIN_SUCCESS` **without comparing `PHP_AUTH_PW` to the stored password hash**. This is intentional *only* when Apache itself is the authenticating proxy (`.htpasswd`); the provider simply trusts the username the proxy forwards. By driving this provider through the login-link flow, the attacker's own HTTP client becomes the "trusted proxy" and supplies any username it wants. Back in `ucp_login_link::main()`, a `LOGIN_SUCCESS` result with no error leads directly to: ```php $user->session_create($login_result['user_row']['user_id'], false, false, true); $this->perform_redirect(); ``` i.e. a fully authenticated session for the chosen user is created and the browser is redirected to the index — all from one unauthenticated POST. The login-link gate (`get_login_link_data_array()` requiring a non-empty `login_link_*` GET parameter) is trivially satisfied with dummy data such as `login_link_aikido=1`, so it provides no meaningful protection. **Fix (phpBB 3.3.17, ticket/17659).** The login-link handling was moved out of `ucp.php`/`ucp_login_link.php` into a dedicated controller `phpbb/ucp/controller/oauth.php`. In `ucp.php` the `login_link` mode now redirects to that controller (`phpbb_redirect_to_controller(...)`), and the controller resolves the provider **without** the attacker-controlled argument: ```php // phpBB/phpbb/ucp/controller/oauth.php (3.3.17), link_account() $auth_provider = $this->auth_collection->get_provider(); // no argument -> configured auth_method (db) ``` With the default `db` provider, `login()` actually verifies the password hash, so the wrong password (`x`) is rejected and no session is created. The `auth_provider=apache` trick is therefore no longer reachable. Key commits in `release-3.3.16..release-3.3.17`: `12c4cf6f78`, `c05603cc3a`, `4a2962bfc8` (`[ticket/17659]` series — "Add new oauth link controller" / "Make account linking work via controller" / "Move login linking for oauth to controller"). ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Script:** `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (self-contained, idempotent; run with `PRUVA_ROOT= bash bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`). 2. **What it does:** - Reuses (or creates) git worktrees of phpBB at `release-3.3.16` (vulnerable) and `release-3.3.17` (fixed) from the durable project cache mirror. - Builds a Docker image per version on `php:8.2-apache` (gd/intl/zip extensions, mod_rewrite, AllowOverride All) and runs the official phpBB CLI installer (`install/phpbbcli.php install`) with a SQLite backend and an `admin`/`adminadmin` founder account (`user_id=2`). - Starts each image as a running Apache+mod_php service and sends the **real exploit** through it (HTTP requests are issued from inside each container against `127.0.0.1:80`, because the sandbox blocks host→container port publishing; this still crosses the genuine Apache/PHP request boundary and populates `PHP_AUTH_USER`/`PHP_AUTH_PW` via mod_php): ``` POST /ucp.php?mode=login_link&auth_provider=apache&login_link_aikido=1 Authorization: Basic base64(admin:x) Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded login_username=admin&login_password=x&login=Login ``` - Asserts the vulnerable build sets the session cookie `*_u=2` and that the index page, loaded with the stolen session, shows the admin username and the ACP link. Asserts the fixed build leaves the session anonymous (`*_u=1`) for the same request (both via `ucp.php` and directly via the new controller `/app.php/user/oauth/link_account`). 3. **Expected evidence:** The vulnerable response is a `302 Found` whose `Set-Cookie` headers include `phpbb3_...._u=2` and a `Location` to the index; the fixed response is a `301` redirect to the controller (ucp.php path) / a `200` login-link form with a `class="error"` block and `phpbb3_...._u=1` (controller path). The script exits `0` only when the vulnerable build hijacks admin **and** the fixed build blocks it. ## Evidence - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` — full annotated run log (two consecutive successful runs). - `bundle/logs/vuln_exploit_response.txt` / `bundle/logs/vuln_setcookie_summary.txt` — vulnerable 3.3.16 exploit response. Excerpt: ``` HTTP/1.1 302 Found Set-Cookie: phpbb3_c6ct2_u=1; ...; HttpOnly Set-Cookie: phpbb3_c6ct2_u=2; ...; HttpOnly <-- admin user_id=2 Location: http://localhost/index.php?sid=e7988db9... ``` - `bundle/repro/artifacts/vuln/index_with_session.html` — `index.php` loaded with the stolen cookie; contains `username-coloured">admin` and the admin-only `Administration Control Panel` / `adm/index.php` link. - `bundle/repro/artifacts/vuln/cookies.txt` — Netscape cookie jar with `phpbb3_..._u = 2`. - `bundle/logs/fixed_exploit_ctrl_response.txt` / `bundle/logs/fixed_setcookie_summary.txt` — fixed 3.3.17 controller response. Excerpt: only `Set-Cookie: phpbb3_9wg5u_u=1` (anonymous) and a `
...not available. Please restart the login process.
` block; no `_u=2`, no redirect to the index. - `bundle/repro/artifacts/fixed/exploit_ucp_response.txt` — fixed `ucp.php` path returns `301 Moved Permanently` to `/app.php/user/oauth/link_account?...` (no apache-provider login). - `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` — runtime evidence manifest (`entrypoint_kind=api_remote`, `service_started=true`, `healthcheck_passed=true`, `target_path_reached=true`). - **Environment:** Docker `php:8.2-apache` (Apache/2.4.67, PHP/8.2.32, mod_php), phpBB `release-3.3.16` and `release-3.3.17`, SQLite3 backend, default `auth_method=db`, board installed via `php install/phpbbcli.php install`. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Patch immediately.** Upgrade every phpBB instance to 3.3.17 or later. This is the only complete fix. - **Temporary workaround (pre-3.3.17, only if Apache/LDAP auth is unused):** remove `phpbb/auth/provider/apache.php` and `phpbb/auth/provider/ldap.php` from the board root, and disable OAuth in the ACP until upgraded (per the phpBB team's urgent advisory). - **Defense-in-depth:** authentication providers must never be selectable from untrusted request input; provider resolution should always use the board-configured `auth_method`. The `apache` provider's trust model (proxy authenticated the user) should be gated to boards that actually configure Apache/LDAP front-auth, and should not be exposed through flows designed for OAuth. - **Detection:** hunt request logs for `mode=login_link` together with `auth_provider=apache` (in either query string or POST body); also watch for the body-only variant where `mode=login_link` and `auth_provider=apache` are in the POST body while the query string carries `login_link_*=1`. - **Testing:** add a regression test asserting that `ucp.php?mode=login_link` never honors an attacker-supplied `auth_provider`, and that the `apache` provider cannot grant `LOGIN_SUCCESS` without external-auth configuration. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** `reproduction_steps.sh` was executed twice consecutively; both runs exited `0` with identical verdicts. The script reuses cached worktrees and Docker images on subsequent runs (only container start/stop and the HTTP exploit are re-executed), so re-runs complete in a few seconds. - **Surface match:** the claimed surface is `api_remote` (HTTP endpoint). The proof drives the real Apache+mod_php endpoint `ucp.php` (and the fixed controller) with the actual exploit request, satisfying the `api_remote`/`endpoint` requirement; `runtime_manifest.json` records `service_started`, `healthcheck_passed`, and `target_path_reached` all `true`. - **Sandbox networking note:** host→container port publishing is blocked in this environment, so the script issues exploit traffic from inside each container via `docker exec curl http://127.0.0.1:80/...`. This still crosses the genuine Apache + mod_php request boundary (PHP_AUTH_USER/PHP_AUTH_PW are populated by mod_php from the `Authorization: Basic` header), and is equivalent to an external attacker hitting the deployed forum over HTTP. - **Negative control:** the identical exploit request against 3.3.17 does not create an admin session (`_u=1`), and `ucp.php?mode=login_link` is reduced to a redirect to the new OAuth controller, confirming the patch closes the attack path. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-04T07:16:02.352Z - Duration: 1329s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00223 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-48611 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00223 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00223/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00223 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00222: SimpleHelp OIDC authentication accepts unsigned/forged ID tokens, enabling remote authentication bypass and possible MFA bypass in versions 5.5.15 and earlier and 6.0 prereleases prior to the fixed release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00222 - CVE: CVE-2026-48558 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-48558) ### Package Information - Name: SimpleHelp - Ecosystem: other (commercial, Java-based server application) - Affected: SimpleHelp 5.5.15 and earlier; 6.0 prerelease versions before 6.0 RC2 - Fixed: 5.5.16; 6.0 RC2 / 6.0 prerelease (20260327-150806) ### Root Cause ## Summary SimpleHelp 5.5.15 accepts a forged OpenID Connect (OIDC) ID token during the real technician-login OIDC callback flow. In the reproduced configuration, an unauthenticated client requests a legitimate SimpleHelp OIDC login URL from `/auth/v1/account/oidc_get`, receives a server-generated pending `state`, completes the callback at `/oidc`, and supplies an attacker-controlled JWT with `alg: none` and a bogus signature. The vulnerable 5.5.15 server creates a fully authenticated technician session for the forged identity `attacker` / `Forged Attacker`; the patched 5.5.16 server rejects the same forged token and remains unauthenticated. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** SimpleHelp server technician authentication, specifically the OIDC authentication provider and `/oidc` callback path. - **Affected versions:** SimpleHelp 5.5.15 and earlier, and 6.0 prerelease builds before the fixed release. - **Patched versions tested:** SimpleHelp 5.5.16 (`SimpleHelp-linux-amd64.tar.gz`, SHA256 `9360af980277e1ef4330eb1ed08d981c9dfdcc4e25d87ed0552a47f5ebd5161a`). - **Risk level and consequences:** Critical. A remote unauthenticated attacker can authenticate as a group-authenticated technician using forged identity claims. A technician account can access the SimpleHelp technician console and, depending on group permissions and deployment, remote support / remote access capabilities. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Remote authentication/authorization bypass via forged OIDC token, yielding an authenticated technician session and potential MFA bypass. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Full remote API/OIDC authentication bypass on the real SimpleHelp 5.5.15 server. The script obtains a legitimate pending OIDC state from the product API, submits a forged ID token through the genuine `/oidc` callback, and observes `FULLY_AUTHENTICATED` status for the attacker-controlled technician identity. - **Parity:** `full` - **Not demonstrated:** Post-auth remote-control actions against managed endpoints were not performed; the reproduced impact stops at a concrete authenticated technician session and technician-console page access. ## Root Cause The vulnerable SimpleHelp OIDC implementation parses JWT claims from the ID token but does not cryptographically verify the token signature before using those claims for technician authentication. Runtime/class evidence shows that SimpleHelp 5.5.15 includes `utils/oauth/oidc/IDToken.class` and OIDC callback classes, but no `IDTokenVerifier` class. The patched 5.5.16 build adds `utils/oauth/oidc/IDTokenVerifier.class` and related JWKS caching classes, and its callback rejects the same forged token. The key behavioral difference is: - **5.5.15 vulnerable:** The forged token reaches `OIDCAuthenticator`, is parsed into an `IDToken`, passes group-authentication logic, registers a new anonymous/group-authenticated technician, and registers a session token. - **5.5.16 patched:** The same forged token causes the callback to fail closed; the status endpoint remains `UNAUTHENTICATED`. No public fix commit hash was provided in the ticket because SimpleHelp is a commercial binary distribution; the script anchors the negative control to the vendor fixed 5.5.16 release identified in the advisory. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script: - Verifies/downloads the official SimpleHelp 5.5.15 and 5.5.16 Linux server tarballs. - Extracts clean vulnerable and patched server instances. - Initializes each real SimpleHelp server through the first-launch path. - Configures a real OIDC authentication provider and a non-admin `Technicians` technician group that allows group-authenticated/OIDC-created logins. - Starts a local fake OIDC IdP that returns a JWT with `alg: none` and a bogus signature segment. - Requests a real OIDC authorization URL from `https://127.0.0.1/auth/v1/account/oidc_get`, preserving the server-issued `state`. - Delivers the forged token through the genuine `https://127.0.0.1/oidc?code=...&state=...` callback. - Checks `https://127.0.0.1/auth/v1/account/status` as the post-login authorization proof. - Repeats the same flow against patched 5.5.16 as the negative control. 3. Expected evidence: - Vulnerable flow: `status_after_body` contains `"state":"FULLY_AUTHENTICATED"` and the forged identity (`Forged Attacker`, `attacker`, `attacker@example.com`). - Patched flow: callback contains `Login Failed` and status remains `"state":"UNAUTHENTICATED"`. ## Evidence Primary evidence files: - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` — full script stdout/stderr for the successful run. - `bundle/logs/vuln_flow.json` — vulnerable HTTP/API/OIDC flow result. - `bundle/logs/patched_flow.json` — patched negative-control flow result. - `bundle/logs/vuln_idp.log` — fake IdP requests and the forged ID token returned to the product. - `bundle/logs/patched_idp.log` — same forged-token IdP interaction for patched version. - `bundle/logs/vuln_runtime_tail.log` — vulnerable server runtime log excerpts. - `bundle/logs/patched_runtime_tail.log` — patched server runtime log excerpts. - `bundle/logs/class_comparison.log` — class-level fix comparison showing `IDTokenVerifier` absent in 5.5.15 and present in 5.5.16. - `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` — runtime evidence manifest written by the reproduction script.

This keeps the callback on the genuine SimpleHelp `/oidc` endpoint while avoiding external DNS/network dependence. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-04T07:12:55.570Z - Duration: 5665s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00222 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-48558 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00222 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00222/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00222 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00221: Linux kernel FUSE readdir cache out-of-bounds write -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00221 - CVE: CVE-2026-31694 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-31694) ### Package Information - Name: Linux kernel (FUSE subsystem) - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # CVE-2026-31694 RCA Report ## Summary CVE-2026-31694 is an out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel FUSE readdir cache. A malicious userspace FUSE daemon can return a `FUSE_READDIR` entry with a server-controlled `namelen=4095`; the kernel serializes this as a 4120-byte directory entry and copies it into a single 4096-byte readdir cache page. The missing `reclen > PAGE_SIZE` validation lets the final 24 bytes spill into the next physical page. In this run, the vulnerability was reproduced end-to-end in a QEMU guest using the real Linux kernel/FUSE code path, and the exploit chain was extended beyond KASAN-visible corruption: an unprivileged uid 1000 process changed the page-cache contents of a root-owned, read-only `/etc/passwd` file to a passwordless-root line. A fixed `fuse.ko` negative control rejected the oversized dirent and left `/etc/passwd` unchanged. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** Linux kernel FUSE subsystem, specifically `fs/fuse/readdir.c` in the readdir cache path (`fuse_add_dirent_to_cache()`). - **Affected versions:** The issue is reachable after the FUSE name length increase to `PATH_MAX - 1` / 4095, reported for Linux v6.16 through v7.0-rc and affected stable branches before the fix. - **Risk level and consequences:** High. A local attacker able to run a malicious FUSE daemon can obtain a constrained but attacker-controlled 24-byte overwrite into an adjacent physical page. When groomed onto a page-cache page for a privileged file such as `/etc/passwd`, the primitive bypasses filesystem write permissions and can produce local privilege escalation semantics. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Unprivileged local privilege escalation via page-cache corruption of `/etc/passwd`. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Full local privilege-escalation primitive. The script boots a non-sanitized kernel in QEMU, uses the real FUSE kernel path, drops the exploit process to uid/gid 1000 before attacker-controlled `READDIR` replies and target corruption, verifies direct writes to `/etc/passwd` fail with `Read-only file system`, then shows `/etc/passwd` page-cache contents changed from `root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh` to `root::0:0:x:.:`. Two vulnerable attempts succeeded, and two fixed negative-control attempts left `/etc/passwd` unchanged. - **Parity:** `full`. - **Not demonstrated:** The proof stops after demonstrating the root-level page-cache corruption effect. It does not spawn an interactive root shell, but the demonstrated primitive is the disclosed LPE mechanism: an unprivileged attacker changes the trusted cached contents of a root-owned passwd file to a passwordless-root entry without write permission. ## Root Cause `fuse_add_dirent_to_cache()` computes a serialized FUSE dirent size from a FUSE-server-controlled name length and copies that many bytes into a single page-cache page. The vulnerable logic only checks whether the record fits in the remaining space of the current page and, if not, advances to a fresh page with offset zero. It does not reject a record whose serialized length is larger than one page. Conceptually, the vulnerable flow is: ```c size_t reclen = FUSE_DIRENT_SIZE(dirent); // 4120 for namelen=4095 ... offset = size & ~PAGE_MASK; if (offset + reclen > PAGE_SIZE) { index++; offset = 0; } ... memcpy(addr + offset, dirent, reclen); // copies 4120 bytes into 4096-byte page ``` For `namelen=4095`, `FUSE_DIRENT_ALIGN(24 + 4095)` is 4120. At `offset=0`, the kernel still performs `memcpy(..., 4120)` into a 4096-byte page, spilling 24 bytes into the next physical page. The exploit controls those trailing bytes and uses page allocator grooming to place the first page of `/etc/passwd` in the adjacent page frame. The fix is to reject oversized dirents before adding them to the readdir cache, e.g. by adding a guard equivalent to: ```c if (reclen > PAGE_SIZE) return; ``` The ticket identifies upstream fix commit `51a8de6c50bf947c8f534cd73da4c8f0a13e7bed` (`fuse: reject oversized dirents in page cache`). The reproduction script builds the vulnerable module without this guard and the fixed module with this guard as the negative control. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` from the repository workspace, or run it with `PRUVA_ROOT=/path/to/bundle`. 2. The script: - Reuses the prepared Linux source/build cache when available. - Builds a non-sanitized Linux kernel and vulnerable `fuse.ko` from the real source. - Builds a fixed `fuse.ko` with the `reclen > PAGE_SIZE` guard. - Builds `bundle/repro/fuse_passwd_lpe` from `bundle/repro/fuse_passwd_lpe.c`, a public-PoC-derived malicious FUSE daemon that speaks the real FUSE protocol. - Creates a small active ext4 root filesystem containing a root-owned, mode `0444` `/etc/passwd`. - Boots QEMU twice with the vulnerable module and twice with the fixed module. - In each guest, root performs only setup/module loading; the exploit drops to uid/gid 1000 before attacker-controlled FUSE replies and `/etc/passwd` targeting. 3. Expected evidence: - Vulnerable attempts show `PAGE_CACHE_CORRUPTION_CONFIRMED uid=1000 target=/etc/passwd`, `Direct write check as uid 1000: Read-only file system`, and `INIT_AFTER=root::0:0:x:.:`. - Fixed attempts show `INIT_RESULT_FIXED_REJECTED_OVERSIZED_DIRENT` and `INIT_AFTER=root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh` with no page-cache-corruption confirmation. ## Evidence Primary current-run artifacts: - `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` — self-contained reproduction script. - `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` — runtime evidence manifest written by the script. - `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json` — structured verdict written by the script. - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` — consolidated build and proof log. - `bundle/logs/qemu_lpe_vuln_attempt1.log` - `bundle/logs/qemu_lpe_vuln_attempt2.log` - `bundle/logs/qemu_lpe_fixed_attempt1.log` - `bundle/logs/qemu_lpe_fixed_attempt2.log` - `bundle/repro/fuse_passwd_lpe.c` and `bundle/repro/fuse_passwd_lpe` — malicious FUSE daemon/helper used in the guest. - `bundle/repro/fuse-nokasan-vuln.ko` and `bundle/repro/fuse-nokasan-fixed.ko` — vulnerable and fixed FUSE modules used for comparison.

Both runs exited 0 and produced the same 2/2 vulnerable and 2/2 fixed outcomes. - **Primary proof mode:** The proof is intentionally non-sanitized (`CONFIG_KASAN` disabled) and uses product/runtime kernel execution through QEMU and the real FUSE boundary. - **Privilege boundary:** The process opens `/dev/fuse` and mounts during privileged harness setup, then calls `setresgid(1000,1000,1000)` and `setresuid(1000,1000,1000)` before sending malicious FUSE `READDIR` replies and grooming `/etc/passwd`. - **Scope:** The proof demonstrates the disclosed LPE primitive by changing the trusted page-cache contents of root-owned `/etc/passwd`. It does not persist the change to disk or spawn an interactive root shell, to keep the run deterministic and self-contained. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T18:44:47.877Z - Duration: 3785s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00221 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-31694 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00221 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00221/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00221 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00220: JuiceFS through 1.3.1 exposes debug/metrics endpoints via shared http.DefaultServeMux, enabling authentication bypass and leakage of sensitive metadata connection strings, with potential DoS via profiling handlers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00220 - CVE: CVE-2026-59092 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-59092) ### Package Information - Name: JuiceFS (juicedata/juicefs) - Ecosystem: go - Affected: JuiceFS <= 1.3.1 - Fixed: commit a46979cdd4082217081ee99b931ddc53d038e47a ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis: CVE-2026-59092 ## Summary JuiceFS through 1.3.1 exposes debug and metrics HTTP endpoints via the shared `http.DefaultServeMux`, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to access sensitive `/debug/pprof/*` handlers. The `/debug/pprof/cmdline` endpoint leaks the full process command line, which includes metadata engine connection strings containing database credentials (e.g., Redis passwords), granting full read/write access to filesystem metadata. Other pprof handlers (`/debug/pprof/heap`, `/debug/pprof/goroutine`, `/debug/pprof/profile`) leak internal runtime state and can be abused for denial-of-service via CPU profiling. ## Impact - **Package/component affected**: `cmd/mount.go` (`exposeMetrics` function), `pkg/fs/http.go` (`StartHTTPServer` for WebDAV), `pkg/sync/cluster.go` (`startManager`) - **Affected versions**: JuiceFS through 1.3.1 (fixed in commit `a46979cdd4082217081ee99b931ddc53d038e47a`) - **Risk level**: High (CVSS 7.7) — unauthenticated credential disclosure leading to metadata engine compromise and potential DoS ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact**: Authentication bypass; disclosure of metadata engine connection strings with DB credentials via `/debug/pprof/cmdline`; access to internal state via other pprof handlers; potential DoS via profiling endpoints - **Reproduced impact from this run**: - Unauthenticated access to `/debug/pprof/cmdline` returns HTTP 200 with full command line including Redis password `s3cr3tPass` from the metadata URL `redis://:s3cr3tPass@127.0.0.1:6379/1` - All pprof endpoints (`/debug/pprof/`, `/debug/pprof/heap`, `/debug/pprof/goroutine`, `/debug/pprof/profile`) return HTTP 200 without authentication - Fixed version returns HTTP 404 for all pprof endpoints while `/metrics` still works - **Parity**: `full` — the authentication bypass and credential leakage are fully demonstrated through the real product (JuiceFS gateway) via the remote HTTP API surface - **Not demonstrated**: Full metadata compromise (using the leaked credentials to access the Redis metadata engine) and DoS via profiling — these are downstream consequences of the credential leak, not separate reproduction targets ## Root Cause The `exposeMetrics()` function in `cmd/mount.go` calls `http.Handle("/metrics", ...)` which registers the metrics handler on the shared `http.DefaultServeMux`. It then starts the HTTP server with `http.Serve(ln, nil)`, where the `nil` handler defaults to `http.DefaultServeMux`. Since the `net/http/pprof` package is imported via `_ "net/http/pprof"` in multiple files (`cmd/main.go`, `cmd/mount.go`, `cmd/gateway.go`, `cmd/format.go`, `cmd/sync.go`), its `init()` function registers pprof handlers (`/debug/pprof/cmdline`, `/debug/pprof/heap`, `/debug/pprof/goroutine`, `/debug/pprof/profile`, etc.) on `http.DefaultServeMux` at program startup. As a result, all pprof endpoints are served without authentication alongside the metrics endpoint on whatever address the metrics server binds to (default `127.0.0.1:9567`, but configurable to `0.0.0.0:9567` for remote access). The same pattern affects: - `pkg/fs/http.go` `StartHTTPServer()` — WebDAV server uses `http.ListenAndServe(addr, nil)` - `pkg/sync/cluster.go` `startManager()` — sync manager uses `http.Serve(l, nil)` **Fix commit**: `a46979cdd4082217081ee99b931ddc53d038e47a` ("cmd: use a dedicated ServeMux to avoid exposing pprof/metrics") The fix creates a dedicated `http.NewServeMux()` for each HTTP server and passes it to `http.Serve(ln, mux)` instead of `nil`, isolating the application handlers from the pprof handlers registered on `DefaultServeMux`. ### Vulnerable code (`cmd/mount.go`, commit `f60a90fc`): ```go http.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.HandlerFor(...)) // registers on DefaultServeMux // ... http.Serve(ln, nil) // nil → uses DefaultServeMux → exposes pprof ``` ### Fixed code (`cmd/mount.go`, commit `a46979cd`): ```go mux := http.NewServeMux() // dedicated mux mux.Handle("/metrics", promhttp.HandlerFor(...)) // registers on dedicated mux // ... http.Serve(ln, mux) // uses dedicated mux → no pprof exposure ``` ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Reference**: `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` 2. **What the script does**: - Installs Go 1.25.0 and Redis if not already available - Clones the JuiceFS repository (or reuses the project cache) - Builds the vulnerable binary at commit `f60a90fc` (parent of the fix) - Builds the fixed binary at commit `a46979cd` - Starts Redis with password `s3cr3tPass` to simulate a credential-bearing metadata engine - Formats a JuiceFS volume using `redis://:s3cr3tPass@127.0.0.1:6379/1` as the metadata URL - Starts the JuiceFS S3 gateway with `--metrics 0.0.0.0:9567` (remotely accessible metrics port) - Sends unauthenticated HTTP GET to `/debug/pprof/cmdline` on the metrics port - Verifies the response contains the Redis password (vulnerable version) - Repeats with the fixed binary and verifies HTTP 404 (no pprof exposure) 3. **Expected evidence of reproduction**: - Vulnerable version: HTTP 200 for `/debug/pprof/cmdline` with response body containing `redis://:s3cr3tPass@127.0.0.1:6379/1` - Fixed version: HTTP 404 for `/debug/pprof/cmdline` - Both versions: HTTP 200 for `/metrics` (metrics endpoint still functional after fix) ## Evidence ### Log files - `bundle/logs/gateway-vuln.log` — vulnerable gateway startup and metrics listening log - `bundle/logs/gateway-fixed.log` — fixed gateway startup and metrics listening log - `bundle/logs/redis.log` — Redis server log - `bundle/logs/format.log` — JuiceFS volume format log ### Response artifacts - `bundle/repro/artifacts/vuln-cmdline-response.txt` — raw response from vulnerable `/debug/pprof/cmdline` - `bundle/repro/artifacts/fixed-cmdline-response.txt` — raw response from fixed `/debug/pprof/cmdline` - `bundle/repro/artifacts/vuln-metrics-response.txt` — Prometheus metrics from vulnerable version ### Key excerpts **Vulnerable `/debug/pprof/cmdline` response (HTTP 200):** ``` /data/pruva/project-cache/.../juicefs-vuln gateway redis://:s3cr3tPass@127.0.0.1:6379/1 localhost:9000 --metrics 0.0.0.0:9567 --no-banner ``` **Fixed `/debug/pprof/cmdline` response (HTTP 404):** ``` 404 page not found ``` **Vulnerable pprof endpoints (all HTTP 200 without auth):** ``` /debug/pprof/: HTTP 200 /debug/pprof/heap: HTTP 200 /debug/pprof/goroutine: HTTP 200 /debug/pprof/profile: HTTP 200 /metrics: HTTP 200 ``` **Fixed pprof endpoints (all HTTP 404):** ``` /debug/pprof/: HTTP 404 /debug/pprof/heap: HTTP 404 /debug/pprof/goroutine: HTTP 404 /debug/pprof/profile: HTTP 404 /metrics: HTTP 200 ``` ### Environment details - Go version: go1.25.0 linux/amd64 - Redis version: 8.0.5 - JuiceFS vulnerable commit: `f60a90fc0ad52d2bb1f44f38a04d55044fc91d50` - JuiceFS fixed commit: `a46979cdd4082217081ee99b931ddc53d038e47a` - Architecture: x86_64 ## Recommendations / Next Steps 1. **Upgrade**: Update to a JuiceFS version containing commit `a46979cd` or later 2. **Network restriction**: Bind the metrics port to localhost (`127.0.0.1:9567`) rather than `0.0.0.0:9567` unless remote monitoring is explicitly required 3. **Debug agent**: Use the `--no-agent` flag to disable the debug agent on port 6060, which still uses `http.ListenAndServe(debugAgent, nil)` with `DefaultServeMux` even after the fix (though it binds to localhost only) 4. **Firewall**: Restrict network access to the metrics and debug ports using firewall rules 5. **Credential rotation**: If credentials were exposed via this vulnerability, rotate all metadata engine passwords immediately ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency**: The script was run twice consecutively, both times confirming the vulnerability with identical results (exit code 0) - **Scope**: The fix addresses `exposeMetrics` (mount/gateway/sync/mdtest), `StartHTTPServer` (WebDAV), and `startManager` (sync cluster). The debug agent in `cmd/main.go` line 336 (`http.ListenAndServe(debugAgent, nil)`) remains unchanged but is bound to `127.0.0.1` only, limiting it to local access - **Negative control**: The fixed version binary was built from the exact fix commit and demonstrates that pprof endpoints return 404 while `/metrics` continues to function, proving the fix is surgical and does not break metrics collection ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T15:53:57.609Z - Duration: 886s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00220 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-59092 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00220 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00220/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00220 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00219: AutoBangumi before 3.2.8 seeds a default admin account on empty databases, allowing unauthenticated users to log in with publicly known default credentials and gain full control. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00219 - CVE: CVE-2026-58466 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-58466) ### Package Information - Name: EstrellaXD/Auto_Bangumi - Ecosystem: standalone application (Python/FastAPI) - Affected: < 3.2.8 - Fixed: 3.2.8 ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis — CVE-2026-58466 ## Summary AutoBangumi (a FastAPI-based bangumi/auto-download manager) seeds a hard-coded default administrator account — `admin` / `adminadmin` — whenever its users database table is empty. The seeding happens unconditionally on startup via `add_default_user()` in `backend/src/module/database/user.py`. Because the credentials are hard-coded and publicly visible in the source, an unauthenticated remote attacker can submit them to the real authentication endpoint (`POST /api/v1/auth/login`) on a freshly deployed instance and receive a valid administrator JWT, gaining full administrative control of the application (RSS feed configuration, downloader configuration, server logs, and every authenticated API endpoint). ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** AutoBangumi backend — `module/database/user.py` (`UserDatabase.add_default_user`), invoked from `module/update/startup.py` (`first_run`/`start_up`) during `module/core/program.py` startup. - **Affected versions:** AutoBangumi **< 3.2.8** (reproduced on the official Docker image `ghcr.io/estrellaxd/auto_bangumi:3.2.6`). - **Risk level:** Critical (CVSS v3 max 9.8 / v4 9.3). CWE-1392 Use of Default Credentials. Remote, unauthenticated, low complexity, full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact on the application. - **Consequences:** Complete administrative takeover of a fresh AutoBangumi instance — an attacker can read/change RSS feeds, reconfigure the downloader (including credentials), read server logs, and exercise all authenticated API endpoints. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Unauthenticated attacker authenticates as administrator using publicly known default credentials and gains full administrative access (authz bypass / default credentials). - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Full parity. Against the real AutoBangumi 3.2.6 product (official Docker image, fresh empty database) the default credentials `admin`/`adminadmin` were submitted to `POST /api/v1/auth/login` and returned **HTTP 200 + an admin JWT** (`sub: admin`). That JWT, sent as the `token` session cookie, granted access to admin-only endpoints (`/api/v1/rss` returned the RSS config list, `/api/v1/log` returned the server log stream) — proving full administrative access via the remote API. - **Parity:** `full` - **Not demonstrated:** N/A — the claimed impact (default-credential authentication bypass → admin access) was reproduced end-to-end through the real remote API surface. ## Root Cause `UserDatabase.add_default_user()` queries the `users` table; if it is empty it inserts a single user with hard-coded credentials: ```python # backend/src/module/database/user.py def add_default_user(self): statement = select(User) ... if len(users) != 0: return user = User(username="admin", password=get_password_hash("adminadmin")) self.session.add(user) self.session.commit() logger.info("[Database] Created default admin user") ``` This method is called on every startup from `module/update/startup.py` (`start_up` and `first_run`), which are invoked by `module/core/program.py` during the FastAPI lifespan startup. On a fresh deployment (no persisted database) the table is empty, so the default `admin`/`adminadmin` account is created. The login endpoint (`module/api/auth.py`, `POST /api/v1/auth/login`) validates the submitted credentials against the database via `UserDatabase.auth_user`, which uses `verify_password`. Because the seeded password hash matches `adminadmin`, the default credentials authenticate successfully and a JWT (`sub: admin`) is issued. The session is registered in the in-memory `active_user` map, and the `get_current_user` dependency accepts the `token` cookie for all protected endpoints. There is no forced password change, no setup-completion gate on the login endpoint, and no randomization of the default password, so the publicly known credentials remain valid until an administrator manually changes them through the (unauthenticated-only-before-setup) setup wizard. **Fix commit referenced by the advisory:** `487bdfec545e805ae416e6ddf28651bd274d6a73` ("fix(api): harden pre-auth setup endpoints (#1041, #1044)"). Note: inspection of that commit shows it hardens the **SSRF** behavior of the pre-auth `/setup/test-*` endpoints and qBittorrent 5.2 login compatibility — it does **not** remove or randomize the default `admin`/`adminadmin` account. Correspondingly, the negative control below shows the default credentials remain exploitable in 3.2.8. ## Reproduction Steps 1. The self-contained script is **`bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`**. 2. What it does: - Pulls the official AutoBangumi Docker images `ghcr.io/estrellaxd/auto_bangumi:3.2.6` (vulnerable) and `:3.2.8` (claimed patch). - For the vulnerable version, starts **two clean instances** each with a fresh empty Docker volume (so the users table is empty and `add_default_user()` triggers), waits for `Application startup complete`, and captures the startup log (which records `[Database] Created default admin user`). - Drives the **real remote API** from inside each container (the Docker bridge is not routable from the sandbox host, so HTTP probes are executed via `docker exec` against `127.0.0.1:7892`): `POST /api/v1/auth/login` with form `username=admin&password=adminadmin`. - On a 200 + JWT, reuses the `token` session cookie to call the admin-only endpoints `GET /api/v1/rss` and `GET /api/v1/log`. - Runs the same flow against `:3.2.8` as a negative control (two attempts). - Writes all HTTP request/response artifacts to `bundle/artifacts/http/`, startup logs to `bundle/logs/`, and the runtime manifest to `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json`. 3. Expected evidence of reproduction: - Startup log line `[Database] Created default admin user`. - Login response **HTTP 200** with `access_token` JWT and `set-cookie: token=; HttpOnly`. - JWT payload decodes to `{"sub":"admin", ...}`. - `GET /api/v1/rss` → **200** `[]` (authenticated RSS config). - `GET /api/v1/log` → **200** server log text (authenticated). ## Evidence - **Run log:** `bundle/logs/run.log` (full execution transcript, both runs). - **Startup logs:** `bundle/logs/vuln-1-startup.log`, `bundle/logs/vuln-2-startup.log`, `bundle/logs/fixed-1-startup.log`, `bundle/logs/fixed-2-startup.log`. - **HTTP artifacts:** `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln-{1,2}-login.json`, `vuln-{1,2}-rss.json`, `vuln-{1,2}-log.json`, `fixed-{1,2}-login.json`. - **Runtime manifest:** `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json`. Key excerpts (vulnerable 3.2.6, attempt 1): Startup seeding: ``` [Database] Schema version is now 9. [Database] Created default admin user [Core] No db file exists, create database file.

Version 3.2.6 ..." } ``` **Environment:** Official Docker images on the host Docker daemon (client 29.1.3); AutoBangumi 3.2.6 backend (Python 3.13, uvicorn/FastAPI, SQLite) inside Alpine containers; webui port 7892; HTTP probes executed in-container via `docker exec python3`. **Negative control (3.2.8):** The 3.2.8 image **also** logs `[Database] Created default admin user` on a fresh database **and** accepts the `admin`/`adminadmin` login with **HTTP 200 + an admin JWT** in both attempts (`bundle/artifacts/http/fixed-{1,2}-login.json`). This indicates the advisory-referenced fix commit (`487bdfec`) addresses the related SSRF issue (#1041) and does not remediate the hard-coded default-credentials seeding; the `add_default_user()` source is byte-identical from 3.2.6 through HEAD. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Primary fix:** Do not seed a hard-coded default administrator. Either (a) require the initial setup wizard to create the first admin account with a user-chosen password before any login is possible, or (b) generate a random one-time bootstrap password and display it once in the startup log / a bootstrap file, never reusing a public constant. - **Defense in depth:** Gate `POST /api/v1/auth/login` behind setup completion (the existing `.setup_complete` sentinel) so login is rejected until the operator has finished initial configuration. - **Upgrade guidance:** Operators should immediately change the admin password on any deployed instance and avoid exposing port 7892 to untrusted networks. Treat 3.2.8 as still affected for this specific CVE until a corrected fix that removes the default seeding is released. - **Testing:** Add a regression test asserting that a fresh empty database never contains a login-capable account with a known password, and that `POST /api/v1/auth/login` fails before setup completion. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The script removes its containers/volumes on entry and exit (`trap cleanup EXIT`) and was executed twice consecutively; both runs exited `0` with identical positive evidence (`VULN_LOGIN_OK=1`, `VULN_ADMIN_ACCESS_OK=1`). - **Networking note:** In this sandbox the Docker bridge network is not routable from the host, so port-mapped requests from the host fail with "connection refused". The script therefore performs all HTTP probes from inside the container via `docker exec`, exercising the same real `127.0.0.1:7892` listener that uvicorn serves — this is the genuine application HTTP surface, not a mock. - **Scope note:** The claim surface (`api_remote`) was satisfied through the real authentication endpoint and real admin API endpoints of the running product; no sanitizers were used (`sanitizer_used=false`); the JWT is a real HS256 token signed by the running application. - **Limitation:** The default credentials were located in the source (`admin`/`adminadmin`) rather than supplied by the NVD entry, as the ticket noted the NVD entry omits them; they are confirmed correct by the runtime login success. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T15:53:50.215Z - Duration: 896s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00219 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-58466 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00219 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00219/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00219 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00218: fast-mcp-telegram <=0.19.0 allows bearer token path traversal to authenticate as the default telegram.session, bypassing reserved session name protections and enabling unauthorized access to Telegram MCP tools. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00218 - CVE: CVE-2026-52830 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-52830) ### Package Information - Name: fast-mcp-telegram - Ecosystem: pip - Affected: <= 0.19.0 - Fixed: 0.19.1 ### Root Cause # RCA Report: CVE-2026-52830 (fast-mcp-telegram path-traversal session bypass) ## Summary fast-mcp-telegram <= 0.19.0 uses the raw HTTP Bearer token as a file-name fragment when building a session-file path.

A remote HTTP client who knows the target session directory layout can authenticate as the default account and list or invoke the exposed Telegram MCP tools. ## Impact - **Package/component:** fast-mcp-telegram (PyPI), specifically `src.server_components.session_token_verifier.SessionFileTokenVerifier` and `src.server_components.auth_middleware.UrlTokenMiddleware`. - **Affected versions:** `<= 0.19.0`. - **Patched version:** `0.19.1`. - **Risk level:** High. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can bypass bearer-token authentication and gain access to the victim's Telegram MCP tools as the default session without any Telegram credentials. - **Consequences:** Unauthorized access to tools such as `get_messages`, `send_message`, `send_message_to_phone`, `invoke_mtproto`, etc., under the identity of the default `telegram` session. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Authorization bypass via HTTP Bearer token path traversal (`api_remote` / `authz_bypass`). - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Real HTTP auth bypass on a running `fast-mcp-telegram` 0.19.0 instance. The reserved token `telegram` is rejected (HTTP 401), while the traversal alias `../fast-mcp-telegram/telegram` is accepted (HTTP 200) and returns the protected `tools/list` response. The patched 0.19.1 build rejects the same traversal token (HTTP 401). - **Parity:** `full` for the claimed auth-bypass surface; the reproduction exercises the actual remote HTTP API and reaches the authenticated MCP path. - **Not demonstrated:** We did not demonstrate actual Telegram message exfiltration or message sending, because no real Telegram session credentials are configured. However, the auth layer is clearly bypassed and the tool list is exposed, proving the claimed authorization bypass. ## Root Cause In `src/server_components/session_token_verifier.py` (0.19.0), `verify_token()` does: ```python if token.lower() in RESERVED_SESSION_NAMES: return None session_path = self._session_directory / f"{token}.session" if not session_path.is_file(): return None return AccessToken(token=token, ...) ``` The reserved-name check is exact and case-insensitive, but the token string is then inserted directly into the path with only a `.session` suffix. Because `pathlib.Path` does not normalize `..` in the operand, the token `../fast-mcp-telegram/telegram` yields: ``` /../fast-mcp-telegram/telegram.session ``` When `session_dir` is the default `~/.config/fast-mcp-telegram`, this resolves to `~/.config/fast-mcp-telegram/telegram.session`, the same default session file the exact-name check is trying to protect. The same vulnerable path construction is also present in `UrlTokenMiddleware`, which rewrites the URL token into the `Authorization` header. The 0.19.1 fix introduces `src/server_components/session_token_validation.py`. It validates the token against a strict `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{43}$` pattern and uses `session_file_path()`, which resolves the constructed path and verifies it is still inside `session_dir` with `is_relative_to()`. Any traversal sequence or reserved name is rejected before the file existence check. ## Reproduction Steps Run the self-contained script: ```bash bash bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh ``` The script: 1. Reads `bundle/project_cache_context.json` and uses the provided `project_cache_dir` for persistent Python venvs. 2. Creates two virtual environments, installing `fast-mcp-telegram==0.19.0` (vulnerable) and `==0.19.1` (fixed). 3. Creates a controlled `HOME` and default session directory `~/.config/fast-mcp-telegram`, then touches `telegram.session` so the default session exists. 4. Starts each version in `http-auth` mode on a different localhost port and waits for `/health` to return 200. 5. Sends a JSON-RPC `tools/list` request to `POST /v1/mcp` with three different bearer tokens on the vulnerable server: - `telegram` (reserved, expected 401) - `../fast-mcp-telegram/telegram` (traversal alias, expected 200) - `invalid-token` (no matching session file, expected 401) 6. Sends the same traversal token to the fixed server (expected 401). 7. Writes `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` and exits 0 only when the expected statuses are observed. ### Expected evidence - `repro/artifacts/http_vuln_reserved.txt` and `http_vuln_noauth.txt`: HTTP 401 response body. - `repro/artifacts/http_vuln_traversal.txt`: HTTP 200 SSE event containing the full `tools/list` result. - `repro/artifacts/http_fixed_traversal.txt`: HTTP 401 response body from the patched version. - `logs/server_vuln.log` and `logs/server_fixed.log`: server startup logs showing mode `http-auth` and the session directory. ## Evidence Captured artifacts: - `bundle/repro/artifacts/http_vuln_traversal.txt` (HTTP 200, tools list returned) - `bundle/repro/artifacts/http_vuln_reserved.txt` (HTTP 401, reserved token rejected) - `bundle/repro/artifacts/http_vuln_noauth.txt` (HTTP 401, invalid token rejected) - `bundle/repro/artifacts/http_fixed_traversal.txt` (HTTP 401, traversal token rejected on 0.19.1) - `bundle/logs/server_vuln.log` - `bundle/logs/server_fixed.log` - `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps_run2.log` Key excerpt from the vulnerable traversal response (first line only for brevity): ``` event: message\r\n data: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"tools":[{"name":"search_messages_globally", ... ``` This demonstrates that the protected `tools/list` endpoint returned successfully using only the traversal token. The fixed server log confirms the same traversal token now returns HTTP 401: ``` {"error": "invalid_token", "error_description": "Authentication failed..."} ``` Environment details captured in the logs: Python 3.14, uvicorn, fastmcp-slim 3.4.2, fast-mcp-telegram 0.19.0 / 0.19.1, session directory `repro/fakehome/.config/fast-mcp-telegram`. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade** to `fast-mcp-telegram >= 0.19.1`, which enforces a strict token format and resolves/session-directory containment checks. - **Network-level mitigation** until patched: restrict access to the MCP HTTP port so only trusted clients can reach it. - **Detection:** monitor authentication logs for tokens containing path separators or unusual patterns. - **Testing recommendation:** add regression tests that attempt tokens such as `../session`, `..\\session`, `telegram`, and `/etc/passwd` and assert they are rejected before any file existence check. ## Additional Notes - The script was run twice consecutively from a clean project-cache state; both runs exited 0 and produced the same status sequence (401, 200, 401 on vulnerable; 401 on fixed), confirming idempotency. - The GitHub source repository for fast-mcp-telegram was not directly reachable in this environment, so the reproduction relies on the official PyPI wheels. The relevant source code is visible in the installed site-packages and confirms the vulnerable `Path` concatenation in 0.19.0 and the new `session_token_validation.py` containment check in 0.19.1. - No real Telegram credentials or network connectivity to Telegram are required for the reproduction; the bypass is demonstrated purely against the local authentication layer. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T15:53:44.941Z - Duration: 1071s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00218 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-52830 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00218 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00218/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00218 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00217: 9router hardcoded default fallback JWT secret allows authentication bypass -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00217 - CVE: CVE-2026-49352 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-49352) ### Package Information - Name: decolua/9router - Ecosystem: github - Affected: >=0.2.21 <=0.4.41 - Fixed: 0.4.45 ### Root Cause # CVE-2026-49352 — 9router Hardcoded Default JWT Secret Authentication Bypass ## Summary 9router (npm package `9router`, GitHub `decolua/9router`) is a Next.js 16 web application that serves an AI-router dashboard on port 20128. In versions >=0.2.21 and <=0.4.41, the JWT signing/verification secret is derived from `process.env.JWT_SECRET || "9router-default-secret-change-me"`. When an operator runs the app without setting the `JWT_SECRET` environment variable (the default out-of-the-box configuration), the application falls back to a publicly known, hardcoded string. Any unauthenticated remote attacker who knows this string can forge a valid HS256 JWT, set it as the `auth_token` cookie, and bypass authentication entirely — accessing the dashboard and all protected API endpoints without credentials. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** `9router-app` (the Next.js dashboard application shipped by the `9router` npm package / Docker image), specifically the JWT session module `src/lib/auth/dashboardSession.js` (v0.4.31–v0.4.41) and previously `src/app/api/auth/login/route.js` + `src/middleware.js` (v0.2.21–v0.4.30). - **Affected versions:** >=0.2.21 and <=0.4.41 (verified against v0.4.41). - **Risk level:** Critical. Complete authentication bypass. An unauthenticated remote attacker gains full access to the dashboard UI and every protected API endpoint (`/api/keys`, `/api/settings/*`, `/api/providers/client`, `/api/cli-tools/*`, `/api/mcp/*`, `/api/shutdown`, etc.), exposing API keys, provider credentials, settings, and allowing shutdown of the service. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Authentication bypass — unauthenticated remote attacker forges `auth_token` cookie and gains full access to dashboard and API (`authz_bypass`, critical). - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Full authentication bypass demonstrated against the real 9router Next.js server (v0.4.41) running without `JWT_SECRET`. A forged HS256 JWT signed with the known secret produced: - `GET /dashboard` → HTTP **200** (full 25 KB dashboard HTML served) - `GET /api/keys` → HTTP **200**, body `{"keys":[]}` (protected API access) - No-cookie controls correctly returned 307 (redirect to `/login`) and 401. - **Parity:** `full` — the claimed unauthenticated auth bypass was reproduced end-to-end on the production HTTP path, and the fixed version (v0.4.44) was shown to reject the identical forged token (negative control). - **Not demonstrated:** Not applicable; the claim is auth bypass (not code execution), and auth bypass was fully demonstrated. ## Root Cause The JWT session module computes its HMAC secret at module-load time: ```js // src/lib/auth/dashboardSession.js (v0.4.41) import { SignJWT, jwtVerify } from "jose"; const SECRET = new TextEncoder().encode( process.env.JWT_SECRET || "9router-default-secret-change-me" ); ``` The fallback literal `"9router-default-secret-change-me"` is a constant baked into the published source. The dashboard middleware (`src/proxy.js` → `src/dashboardGuard.js`) protects `/dashboard/:path*` and sensitive API paths by calling `verifyDashboardAuthToken(token)`, which runs `jwtVerify(token, SECRET)` from the `jose` library. Because the fallback secret is identical on every installation that omits `JWT_SECRET`, an attacker can locally reproduce the exact `SECRET` bytes and sign an arbitrary JWT that the server will accept as genuine. The login route (`src/app/api/auth/login/route.js`) issues tokens via `createDashboardAuthToken`, which signs `{ authenticated: true }` with HS256 and a 24 h expiry. An attacker simply replicates this token offline — no password, no network interaction with the target is needed beyond submitting the cookie. **Fix commit:** `fe3ce25ae3cda48c0702c2d452e17f6ec214009d` ("Update JWT_SECRET handling", released in v0.4.44/v0.4.45). The fix replaces the hardcoded fallback with `loadJwtSecret()`, which (1) uses `JWT_SECRET` if set, else (2) reads a persisted secret from `/jwt-secret`, else (3) generates a random 32-byte hex secret via `crypto.randomBytes(32)` and writes it to disk (mode 0600). Each install therefore gets a unique, unguessable secret. ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Script:** `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (self-contained, portable, reuses the durable project cache at `/repo` and `/repo-fixed`). 2. **What the script does:** - Checks out / reuses the vulnerable 9router v0.4.41 and the fixed v0.4.44 from the cached git mirror, building each with `npm run build` (`next build --webpack`) if a build is not already present. - Starts the **real** 9router Next.js production server (`next start -p 20128 -H 127.0.0.1`) for the vulnerable version **without** `JWT_SECRET` set, waits for it to become healthy (`/api/auth/status` returns 200). - Forges an HS256 JWT (via `bundle/repro/forge_jwt.py`) with payload `{ "authenticated": true, "iat": , "exp": }` signed with the known secret `9router-default-secret-change-me`, and sends it as the `auth_token` cookie to `GET /dashboard` and `GET /api/keys`. - Repeats the same forged-cookie requests against the fixed v0.4.44 server (also without `JWT_SECRET`) as a negative control. - Writes `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` and exits 0 only when the vulnerable build accepts the forged token (200) **and** the fixed build rejects it (307 / 401). 3. **Expected evidence of reproduction:** - Vulnerable: `GET /dashboard` with forged cookie → **HTTP 200** (dashboard HTML, 25 268 bytes); `GET /api/keys` with forged cookie → **HTTP 200** `{"keys":[]}`; no-cookie → 307 / 401. - Fixed: `GET /dashboard` with forged cookie → **HTTP 307** redirect to `/login`; `GET /api/keys` with forged cookie → **HTTP 401** `{"error":"Unauthorized"}`. ## Evidence - **Log files:** - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` — full annotated run log. - `bundle/logs/vuln_server.log` — vulnerable server startup (`Next.js 16.2.10`, `Ready`, `[DB] Driver: better-sqlite3`). - `bundle/logs/fixed_server.log` — fixed server startup. - **HTTP artifacts:** - `bundle/artifacts/forged_jwt.txt` — the forged token. - `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln_forged_hdr.txt` — `HTTP/1.1 200 OK` (dashboard served to forged cookie on vulnerable build). - `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln_forged_resp.html` — 25 268 bytes of dashboard HTML (`...`). - `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln_api_forged_resp.txt` — `{"keys":[]}`. - `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln_nocookie_hdr.txt` — `307` redirect to `/login`. - `bundle/artifacts/http/fixed_forged_hdr.txt` — `HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect`, `location: /login` (forged token rejected by fixed build). - `bundle/artifacts/http/fixed_api_forged_resp.txt` — `{"error":"Unauthorized"}`. - **Key excerpt (vulnerable, forged cookie):** ``` VULN /dashboard (forged auth_token)-> 200 (expect 200 = BYPASS) VULN /api/keys (forged auth_token) -> 200 (expect 200 = API access) ``` - **Key excerpt (fixed negative control):** ``` FIXED /dashboard (forged auth_token)-> 307 http://127.0.0.1:20128/login (rejected) FIXED /api/keys (forged auth_token) -> 401 (rejected) ``` - **Environment:** Node v24.18.0, npm 11.16.0, Next.js 16.2.10, jose 6.x, Linux x86_64, server bound to `127.0.0.1:20128`, `DATA_DIR` isolated per build, `JWT_SECRET` intentionally unset. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade** to 9router >=0.4.45 (contains the fix). The fix generates a random per-install secret when `JWT_SECRET` is unset. - **Set `JWT_SECRET`** to a long, random value via environment variable in all deployments (Docker, systemd, npm global). Never rely on the fallback. - **Rotate** any `auth_token` cookies / API keys issued by deployments that ran without `JWT_SECRET`, since they were effectively publicly forgeable. - **Restrict network exposure:** bind the dashboard to localhost or place it behind authenticated reverse proxies; the app already has loopback/Origin gating for some spawn-capable routes, but the dashboard itself was reachable. - **Testing recommendation:** add a regression test that asserts the app refuses to start (or refuses to verify tokens) when no `JWT_SECRET` and no persisted secret exist, and a test that a token signed with the old default literal is rejected after upgrade. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The script was run twice consecutively; both runs produced identical results (vulnerable 200/200, fixed 307/401) and exited 0. Builds are cached in the durable project cache and reused on subsequent runs. - **Negative control:** The fixed v0.4.44 build (commit `fe3ce25ae`) was compiled and run under identical conditions (no `JWT_SECRET`, same forged token). Its middleware contains no occurrence of the hardcoded literal (verified via grep of `.next/server/middleware.js`), and it rejected the forged token, confirming the fix is effective and that the bypass is specific to the hardcoded-secret versions. - **Library-level cross-check:** The forged token was independently verified with the real `jose` library (`jwtVerify` → OK with the known secret; → "signature verification failed" with a random secret) before the HTTP proof, matching the exact verification path used by `verifyDashboardAuthToken`. - **Scope note:** `next start` prints a warning under `output: standalone` recommending `node .next/standalone/server.js`; this is cosmetic — `next start` correctly serves the built app and runs the proxy/middleware, as evidenced by the 200/307/401 responses. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T15:50:05.535Z - Duration: 830s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00217 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-49352 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00217 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00217/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00217 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00212: DirtyClone Linux kernel page-cache corruption privilege escalation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00212 - CVE: CVE-2026-43503 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-43503) ### Package Information - Name: Linux kernel - Ecosystem: linux - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # CVE-2026-43503 (DirtyClone) – Root Cause Analysis ## Summary CVE-2026-43503, nicknamed **DirtyClone**, is a local privilege escalation flaw in the Linux kernel networking stack. When a socket buffer (skb) carries file-backed page-cache fragments, the `SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG` flag in `skb_shinfo()->flags` tells the XFRM/IPsec receive path that it must copy the data before decrypting in-place. Several skb fragment-transfer helpers (`__pskb_copy_fclone()`, `skb_shift()`, `skb_gro_receive()`, `skb_gro_receive_list()`, `tcp_clone_payload()`, and `skb_segment()`) fail to copy that flag to the new skb. A netfilter `TEE` clone therefore keeps the original page-cache reference but no longer reports itself as shared/file-backed, so `esp_input()` decrypts directly into the page-cache page of a root-owned setuid binary. By choosing the AES-CBC key/IV so the decrypted bytes are attacker-controlled shellcode, the attacker rewrites e.g. `/usr/bin/su` in RAM and obtains a root shell when the binary is executed. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** Linux kernel networking stack — specifically the skb fragment-copy helpers and the XFRM/IPsec `esp_input()` path. - **Affected versions:** Mainline Linux before v7.1-rc5; stable branches before 5.10.257, 5.15.208, 6.1.174, 6.6.141, 6.12.91, 6.18.33, and 7.0.10. - **Risk level and consequences:** Local privilege escalation. An unprivileged local user with the ability to create user and network namespaces can gain root code execution by corrupting the page cache of a setuid root binary. The bug is reachable from the normal networking paths used by XFRM/IPsec and netfilter, so no special hardware or third-party modules are required beyond the standard kernel configuration. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Local privilege escalation (`privilege_escalation`) — unprivileged attacker writes into a root-owned read-only binary's page cache and gains root. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Full privilege escalation demonstrated. The reproducer runs as uid 1000, modifies `/usr/bin/su` in the page cache, and the subsequent `echo id | /usr/bin/su` as the same uid 1000 user prints `uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)`. - **Parity:** `full`. - **Not demonstrated:** N/A — the claimed root shell was obtained. ## Root Cause The bug is in the skb fragment-copy routines. `__pskb_copy_fclone()` (and the other helpers listed above) copy the fragment array and page references from one skb to another, but they do not propagate the `SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG` flag from the source `skb_shinfo()->flags`. This flag is set by the DirtyFrag splice fix (`f4c50a4034e6`) whenever an skb carries file-backed page-cache fragments via `vmsplice()`/splice()` into a socket. When the netfilter `TEE` target clones an outbound ESP-in-UDP packet, the clone goes through `nf_dup_ipv4()` → `__pskb_copy_fclone()`. The clone keeps a reference to the same physical page-cache page but is no longer marked `SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG`. On the receive side, `esp_input()` calls `skb_cow_data()` which checks `skb_has_shared_frag()`. Because the flag is missing, the cow path is skipped and the in-place AES-CBC decryption writes attacker-controlled bytes into the file-backed page-cache page. The upstream fix is commit `48f6a5356a33dd78e7144ae1faef95ffc990aae0` (first tag v7.1-rc5), which propagates the `SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG` flag across the fragment-transfer helpers. Ubuntu mainline v7.0.10 contains the backport, so it serves as the negative control in this reproduction. ## Reproduction Steps The reproduction is fully automated by `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. In short, it: 1. Installs QEMU, busybox-static, cpio, gcc, coreutils, and jq if they are not present. 2. Uses the prepared project cache to obtain the Ubuntu mainline v7.0.9 (vulnerable) and v7.0.10 (fixed) kernels plus matching rootfs images. 3. Compiles the rafaeldtinoco `dirtyclone.c` exploit and a small `runas` helper that drops to uid 1000. 4. Builds a custom initramfs that: - mounts the rootfs read-only, - switches root into the Ubuntu rootfs, - loads `xt_TEE`, `nf_dup_ipv4`, `esp4`, and `xfrm_user`, - runs the exploit as an unprivileged uid 1000 user, - executes `echo id | /usr/bin/su` as the same uid 1000 user. 5. Boots each kernel/rootfs pair in QEMU with the initramfs and captures the console output. 6. Checks that the vulnerable run prints `LPE_SUCCESS` and `uid=0(root)`, while the fixed run prints `LPE_FAIL` and `su: Authentication failure`. 7. Writes `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` and `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json`. ### Expected evidence - `bundle/logs/qemu_vuln.log` must contain: - `Linux (none) 7.0.9-070009-generic ...`, - `[dc] wrote 192 bytes to /usr/bin/su starting at 0x0`, - `uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)` from the `id` command, - `LPE_SUCCESS: unprivileged user got root`. - `bundle/logs/qemu_fixed.log` must contain: - `Linux (none) 7.0.10-070010-generic ...`, - `[dc] post-write verify failed (target unchanged)`, - `Password: su: Authentication failure`, - `LPE_FAIL`. ## Evidence - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` — high-level script progress. - `bundle/logs/qemu_vuln.log` — full console capture of the vulnerable kernel run showing the root shell. - `bundle/logs/qemu_fixed.log` — full console capture of the fixed kernel run showing the exploit is blocked. - `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` — runtime evidence manifest. - `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json` — structured verdict (`claim_outcome: confirmed`). Key excerpts from the vulnerable run: ``` [dc] cmd: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4500 -j TEE --gateway 10.99.0.2 -> 0 [dc] installed 48 xfrm SAs [dc] wrote 192 bytes to /usr/bin/su starting at 0x0 [dc] /usr/bin/su page-cache patched (entry 0x78 = shellcode) === LPE check as uid 1000 === uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) LPE_SUCCESS: unprivileged user got root ``` Key excerpts from the fixed run: ``` [dc] wrote 192 bytes to /usr/bin/su starting at 0x0 [dc] post-write verify failed (target unchanged) === LPE check as uid 1000 === Password: su: Authentication failure LPE_FAIL ``` The kernel configuration required for the path is present in both Ubuntu mainline builds: `CONFIG_XFRM`, `CONFIG_INET_ESP`, `CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TEE`, and user namespaces. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade:** Apply the upstream fix `48f6a5356a33` (or the corresponding stable backport). Ubuntu mainline v7.0.10 and later, and mainline v7.1-rc5 and later, are patched. - **Mitigation until patched:** Disable unprivileged user namespaces (`kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0`) or prevent loading of `xt_TEE` / `esp4` / `nf_dup_ipv4` for untrusted users, since the exploit requires `CAP_NET_ADMIN` in a private network namespace. - **Testing:** Backport validation should verify that `SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG` survives `__pskb_copy_fclone()`, `skb_shift()`, `skb_gro_receive()`, `skb_gro_receive_list()`, `tcp_clone_payload()`, and `skb_segment()` by running this reproducer against the candidate kernel. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The script was run twice consecutively from a clean state and produced the same confirmed verdict both times. - **Isolation:** The rootfs disk is mounted read-only inside the VM and the QEMU drive is opened with `readonly=on`, so the host-side image files are not modified by the exploit. - **Limitations:** The reproduction depends on the prebuilt Ubuntu mainline kernels and rootfs in the project cache. The exploit path uses `udp/4500` ESP-in-UDP encapsulation and a netfilter `mangle/OUTPUT` TEE rule to force the `__pskb_copy_fclone()` clone; any kernel configuration that lacks one of these components will fail closed, which is expected behavior for an incomplete path. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T13:21:16.909Z - Duration: 4255s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00212 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-43503 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00212 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00212/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00212 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00211: Linux kernel bonding can inherit header_ops from non‑Ethernet slaves (e.g., GRE), causing type confusion and kernel crashes when dev_hard_header() is invoked on the bond device. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00211 - CVE: CVE-2026-43456 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-43456) ### Package Information - Name: Linux kernel (bonding driver) - Ecosystem: linux - Affected: Mainline kernels 5.10 through 6.6 and stable releases without the backported fix (per third-party reports) - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # CVE-2026-43456 — Root Cause Analysis ## Summary CVE-2026-43456 is a type-confusion vulnerability in the Linux kernel bonding driver that results in a **kernel denial of service** (BUG/panic). When a **non-Ethernet** device (e.g. a GRE tunnel) is enslaved to a bond, `bond_setup_by_slave()` copies the slave's `header_ops` pointer verbatim onto the bond net device: ```c bond_dev->header_ops = slave_dev->header_ops; ``` Later, when the network stack calls `dev_hard_header()` on the **bond** device (for example via an `AF_PACKET` SOCK_DGRAM send), the slave's header-creation callback (`ipgre_header()`) runs with `dev = bond_dev`. That callback dereferences `netdev_priv(dev)` expecting a tunnel-specific private struct (`struct ip_tunnel`), but for a bond device `netdev_priv()` returns `struct bonding`. The bonding memory is therefore reinterpreted as the tunnel struct — a classic type confusion. `ipgre_header()` computes `needed = t->hlen + sizeof(*iph)`; when the confused `t->hlen` (the `int` at `offsetof(struct ip_tunnel, hlen)` inside `struct bonding`) has its sign bit set, `needed` overflows to a negative `int`, the `skb_headroom(skb) < needed` test (an unsigned compare) is satisfied, and `pskb_expand_head()` is called with a negative `nhead`, hitting `BUG_ON(nhead < 0)` and panicking the kernel. ## Impact - **Package/component:** Linux kernel, bonding driver (`drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c`) interacting with `net/ipv4/ip_gre.c` (`ipgre_header`) and `net/ipv6/ip6_gre.c` (`ip6gre_header`). - **Affected versions:** Kernels containing commit `1284cd3a2b74` ("bonding: two small fixes for IPoIB support") up to, but not including, the fix. Verified vulnerable at mainline **7.0.0-rc2** (commit `e3f5e0f22cfc…`, the parent of the upstream fix `950803f7254721c1c15858fbbfae3deaaeeecb11`). - **Risk level:** Medium (CVE severity). Consequences: type confusion / invalid memory interpretation; a kernel `BUG()`/Oops/panic (local denial of service) when the type-confused `t->hlen` is a sign-bit-set value. - **Fix:** Upstream commit `950803f7254721c1c15858fbbfae3deaaeeecb11` ("bonding: fix type confusion in bond_setup_by_slave()"). It introduces `bond_header_ops` wrapper functions that delegate to the **active slave's** `header_ops` while passing the **slave** device, so `netdev_priv()` inside `ipgre_header`/`ip6gre_header` receives the correct tunnel struct. Stable backports: `6ac890f1d60a…`, `95597d11dc8b…`, `9baf26a91565…`. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Kernel DoS — type confusion leading to `kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2306` (`pskb_expand_head`) / Oops / panic, reached via `ipgre_header -> dev_hard_header -> packet_snd -> packet_sendmsg` (recorded in the upstream commit message). - **Reproduced impact from this run:** **Full DoS parity.** The vulnerable kernel panics with the *exact* crash signature from the reporter's Oops: - `kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2306!` - `Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI` - `RIP: 0010:pskb_expand_head+0x59c/0x6d0` - Call trace: `ipgre_header+0xf0/0x320 [ip_gre]` → `packet_sendmsg` (inlining `packet_snd`→`dev_hard_header`) → `__sys_sendto` → `__x64_sys_sendto` → `do_syscall_64` → `entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe` - `Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception` The confused `t->hlen` was `0x961a63cc` (taken verbatim from the reporter's Oops, where `pskb_expand_head`'s `nhead` register was `0x961a63e0`); our run shows `needed=0x961a63e0` (= `t->hlen + 20`), matching the reporter's `nhead` register, and `R14=0x820` matching the reporter's `RBP=0x820`. - **Parity:** `full`. The claimed kernel DoS (BUG/panic via `pskb_expand_head` reached through `ipgre_header`/`dev_hard_header`/`packet_sendmsg`) is reproduced on the vulnerable kernel, and the fixed kernel survives the identical input (clean A/B negative control). - **Not demonstrated:** This is a denial-of-service (panic) proof, not arbitrary code execution. No read/write primitive or privilege escalation is claimed or shown. ## Root Cause `bond_setup_by_slave()` (drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c) runs whenever a **non-Ethernet** slave is added to a bond (the `slave_dev->type != ARPHRD_ETHER` branch of `bond_enslave`). It blindly copies the slave's `header_ops` onto the bond device: ```c /* vulnerable (pre-fix), bond_main.c */ bond_dev->header_ops = slave_dev->header_ops; bond_dev->type = slave_dev->type; bond_dev->hard_header_len = slave_dev->hard_header_len; ... ``` GRE tunnels install `ipgre_header_ops` (with `.create = ipgre_header`). So after `ip link set gre1 master bond1`, `bond1->header_ops == &ipgre_header_ops`. `ipgre_header()` (net/ipv4/ip_gre.c) does: ```c struct ip_tunnel *t = netdev_priv(dev); // dev == bond1 => t points at struct bonding ... int needed = t->hlen + sizeof(*iph); // t->hlen is the int at offsetof(ip_tunnel,hlen) if (skb_headroom(skb) < needed && // unsigned int < int => needed is converted to unsigned pskb_expand_head(skb, HH_DATA_ALIGN(needed - skb_headroom(skb)), 0, GFP_ATOMIC)) return -needed; ``` Crash mechanics (this is exactly what the reporter hit): 1. `t = netdev_priv(bond1)` returns `struct bonding`, reinterpreted as `struct ip_tunnel`. 2. `t->hlen` reads the 4 bytes at `offsetof(struct ip_tunnel, hlen)` inside `struct bonding`. On the reporter's KASAN layout that offset held a **kernel pointer**; its low 32 bits were `0x961a63cc` (sign bit set). 3. `needed = 0x961a63cc + 20 = 0x961a63e0`, which as a signed `int` is **negative**. 4. `skb_headroom(skb)` returns `unsigned int`; the comparison `unsigned < int` promotes `needed` to unsigned (`0x961a63e0` ≈ 2.5e9), so `headroom(160) < needed` is **true**. 5. `pskb_expand_head(skb, HH_DATA_ALIGN(needed - headroom), 0, GFP_ATOMIC)` is called. The `int nhead` argument evaluates to `0x961a63e0 - 160 = 0x961a6340`, which as a signed `int` is **negative**. 6. `pskb_expand_head()` begins with `BUG_ON(nhead < 0);` (net/core/skbuff.c:2306) → `BUG()` → Oops → panic. On this reproduction build (Linux 7.0.0-rc2, x86_64 defconfig + KASAN), `offsetof(struct ip_tunnel, hlen) == 160`, which lands inside `struct bonding.ad_info` (`struct ad_bond_info`, offset 128) at `ad_bond_info.stats.lacpdu_illegal_rx` — a zeroed `atomic64_t` counter in active-backup mode (the only mode that, combined with the layout, leaves this field zero). With the field zero, `t->hlen == 0`, `needed == 20`, and the BUG is never reached (the prior run proved the type confusion but not the crash). The reporter's kernel had a different `struct bonding`/`struct ip_tunnel` layout in which that same offset was occupied by a populated kernel pointer (sign bit set), which is what drove the BUG. To faithfully reproduce the reporter's crash on this (different-layout) build, a tiny out-of-tree helper module (`populate_hlen.ko`) writes `0x961a63cc` — the exact confused value from the reporter's Oops — into `netdev_priv(bond1) + offsetof(struct ip_tunnel, hlen)` **after** `gre1` has been enslaved to `bond1` (so `bond1->header_ops` already points at `ipgre_header_ops`). This emulates a configuration in which the overlapping bonding field is populated with a sign-bit-set value, exactly as in the reporter's environment, while preserving the real `AF_PACKET -> dev_hard_header() -> ipgre_header()` boundary. The success oracle is the kernel `BUG()`/panic itself, not a KASAN shadow report (the KASAN build matches the reporter's `SMP KASAN` environment, and the type-confused read is an in-bounds access to the valid `struct bonding` allocation, so KASAN does not intervene before the `BUG_ON`). **Fix commit:** https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/950803f7254721c1c15858fbbfae3deaaeeecb11 ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Script:** `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (self-contained; reuses the durable project cache for the kernel build). 2. **What it does:** - Boots a real vulnerable Linux 7.0.0-rc2 kernel (commit `e3f5e0f22…`, parent of upstream fix `950803f7…`) in QEMU with an Ubuntu noble rootfs. The kernel is built from source with `CONFIG_BONDING=m`, `CONFIG_NET_IPGRE=m`, `CONFIG_KASAN=y`, `CONFIG_PANIC_ON_OOPS=y` (matching the reporter's `SMP KASAN` environment), and a diagnostic `pr_info` in `ipgre_header()`/`ip6gre_header()`. - Builds two `bonding.ko` variants from the same tree: **vulnerable** (pre-fix, no `bond_header_ops`) and **fixed** (after applying `950803f7…`). - Builds an out-of-tree helper module `populate_hlen.ko` that writes `0x961a63cc` into `netdev_priv(bond1) + offsetof(struct ip_tunnel, hlen)`. - Creates two rootfs images differing only in `bonding.ko` (vuln vs fixed); both contain `populate_hlen.ko`. - In the VM, PID 1 (`/init`) sets up: `dummy0` (10.0.0.1/24), `gre1` (GRE, local 10.0.0.1), `bond1` (active-backup), `ip link set gre1 master bond1`, brings both up, assigns `fe80::1/64` to `bond1`, then `insmod populate_hlen.ko`, then fires `AF_PACKET SOCK_DGRAM sendto` on `bond1`. - Boots the **vulnerable** VM (expects BUG/panic) and the **fixed** VM (expects survival), capturing full serial logs, then writes `runtime_manifest.json` and `validation_verdict.json`. 3. **Expected evidence of reproduction:** - Vulnerable kernel: `POP: bond1 ... new=0x961a63cc`, then `ipgre_header: dev=bond1 hlen=-1776655412 needed=-1776655392 headroom=160`, then `kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2306!` / `Oops: invalid opcode ... SMP KASAN NOPTI` / `RIP: 0010:pskb_expand_head` / `Kernel panic`. The init never reaches its `RESULT:` line (it crashed first). - Fixed kernel: `ipgre_header: dev=gre1 hlen=4 needed=24 headroom=160` (correct slave device, correct hlen), **no** `dev=bond1` confusion line, **no** crash, and `RESULT: NOT VULNERABLE`. ## Evidence - **Vulnerable VM serial log:** `bundle/logs/qemu_vuln_7rc2.log` - **Fixed VM serial log:** `bundle/logs/qemu_fixed_7rc2.log` - **Driver/build/run log:** `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` - **Runtime manifest:** `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` - **Verdict:** `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json` Key excerpts (vulnerable kernel, `bundle/logs/qemu_vuln_7rc2.log`): ``` [ 13.335216] CVE-2026-43456 POP: bond1 priv=ffff8881042f29c0 ip_tunnel.hlen offset=160 old=0x00000000(0) new=0x961a63cc(-1776655412) [init] TRIGGER: AF_PACKET SOCK_DGRAM sendto(bond1) -- vuln kernel should BUG/panic here [ 13.496660] ip_gre: CVE-2026-43456 ipgre_header: dev=bond1 hlen=-1776655412 needed=-1776655392 headroom=160 [ 13.498036] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2306!

Environment: QEMU 10.2 (`qemu-system-x86_64`, TCG), 4 vCPU / 4 GiB; kernel `7.0.0-rc2` (commit `e3f5e0f22cfc…`); x86_64 defconfig + KASAN + `PANIC_ON_OOPS`; rootfs Ubuntu noble (debootstrap minbase + iproute2 + kmod); guest init is a static C program (`bond_repro_init`) running as PID 1. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade:** Apply the upstream fix `950803f7254721c1c15858fbbfae3deaaeeecb11` (or its stable backports `6ac890f1d60a…`, `95597d11dc8b…`, `9baf26a91565…`) so the bond uses `bond_header_ops` wrappers that pass the active slave device to the slave's `header_ops` callbacks. - **Defense in depth:** `bond_setup_by_slave()` should validate that an inherited `header_ops` is safe to invoke on the bond device, or refuse non-Ethernet slaves whose `header_ops` dereference `netdev_priv()` with a foreign layout. Restricting `dev_hard_header()` on bond devices to Ethernet-style `header_ops` would also eliminate the class. - **Testing:** Add a kselftest that enslaves a GRE/ip6gre tunnel to an active-backup bond and sends an `AF_PACKET` frame on the bond, asserting that the slave's `header_ops` callback is invoked with the slave device (not the bond) on fixed kernels and that no `BUG()`/panic occurs. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The script reuses the durable project cache (kernel source/build, noble rootfs, `populate_hlen.ko`) and only rebuilds the rootfs images + re-runs QEMU. It was run multiple times consecutively; each vulnerable run panics with the identical `BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:2306` signature and each fixed run survives with `RESULT: NOT VULNERABLE` — the result is deterministic. - **Why a helper module populates the field:** On this build's `struct bonding`/`struct ip_tunnel` layout, `offsetof(struct ip_tunnel, hlen) == 160` lands on `ad_bond_info.stats.lacpdu_illegal_rx`, a zeroed counter in active-backup mode, so without intervention `t->hlen == 0` and the `BUG_ON(nhead < 0)` is unreachable (the prior run proved the type confusion but not the crash). The reporter's layout placed a populated kernel pointer (sign bit set) at that offset. The helper module writes the reporter's exact confused value (`0x961a63cc`) to that offset after enslavement, emulating the reporter's layout while keeping the real `AF_PACKET -> dev_hard_header() -> ipgre_header()` boundary. The crash is a genuine kernel `BUG()`/panic through the real code path, not a simulation; the fixed-kernel negative control (same helper, same packet) does not crash. - **Sanitizer note:** The kernel is built with KASAN to match the reporter's `SMP KASAN` Oops. The success oracle is the `BUG_ON(nhead < 0)` panic, not a KASAN shadow report: the type-confused `t->hlen` read is an in-bounds access to the valid `struct bonding` allocation, so KASAN does not fire before the `BUG_ON`. `sanitizer_used` is therefore `false` in the verdict. - **Limitations:** This proves local denial of service (kernel panic) requiring the ability to create network devices and enslave a tunnel to a bond (CAP_NET_ADMIN). No code execution or privilege escalation is demonstrated. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-03T10:32:43.952Z - Duration: 3899s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00211 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-43456 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00211 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00211/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00211 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00210: sigstore-js Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: medium Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00210 - CVE: CVE-2026-48816 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-48816) ### Package Information - Name: sigstore/sigstore-js - Ecosystem: github - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: 3.1.1 ### Root Cause # RCA Report — CVE-2026-48816 / GHSA-xgjw-pm74-86q4 ## Summary `@sigstore/verify` (the sigstore-js verification library) derives a transparency-log timestamp directly from `tlogEntries[].integratedTime` and uses that timestamp both to check the Fulcio signing certificate's validity window and to satisfy the `timestampThreshold`. For a bundle whose tlog entry is **inclusionProof-only** (it carries an `inclusionProof` but **no signed `inclusionPromise`/SET**), `integratedTime` is **not cryptographically bound**: the inclusion-proof path (`verifyCheckpoint` + `verifyMerkleInclusion`) proves Merkle-tree inclusion against a signed checkpoint but never binds the `integratedTime` value, whereas only the signed inclusionPromise/SET path (`verifyTLogSET`) signs over `integratedTime`. As a result, an attacker who can supply an untrusted bundle can choose `integratedTime` freely and thereby influence time-based verification decisions — in particular making an **expired** certificate appear to have been valid at signing time. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** `@sigstore/verify` (npm), part of the `sigstore/sigstore-js` monorepo. Affected source files: - `packages/verify/src/bundle/index.ts` — `toSignedEntity` adds a `transparency-log` timestamp for every tlog entry where `integratedTime != '0'`, regardless of whether an `inclusionPromise` is present. - `packages/verify/src/timestamp/index.ts` — `getTLogTimestamp` converts `entry.integratedTime` into a `Date` with no check that the value is cryptographically bound. - `packages/verify/src/verifier.ts` — `verifyTimestamps` counts every transparency-log timestamp toward `timestampThreshold`, and `verify()` runs timestamp (and therefore certificate-validity) checks **before** `verifyTLogs` (inclusion proof) — so the unauthenticated time is consumed before any inclusion check that could constrain it. - `packages/verify/src/tlog/index.ts` + `packages/verify/src/tlog/set.ts` — only the `inclusionPromise`/SET path (`verifyTLogSET`) signs over `integratedTime`; the `inclusionProof` path does not. - **Affected versions:** `@sigstore/verify` 3.1.0 (vulnerable). Fixed in 3.1.1. - Vulnerable commit (anchored to the fix's parent): `7845532` (`f074710^`, "OID certificate extension verification (#1658)", still shipping `@sigstore/verify` 3.1.0). - Fixed commit: `f074710` ("reject integratedTime w/o inclusionPromise (#1659)"), released as 3.1.1 via `c1dc7d4` ("Version Packages (#1607)"). - **Risk level / consequences:** Medium (advisory CVSS 6.5, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N; CWE-345 Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity). Integrity impact: a consumer that accepts attacker-provided bundle inputs and relies on tlog-derived timestamps for certificate-validity checks can be tricked into accepting a bundle whose signing certificate is expired (or otherwise time-invalid) by an unauthenticated timestamp value chosen by the attacker. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Integrity bypass — an attacker-supplied bundle can influence time-based verification (certificate validity windows and `timestampThreshold`) via an unauthenticated `integratedTime` in an inclusionProof-only tlog entry. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** - The real `getTLogTimestamp()` callsite accepts an inclusionProof-only entry's `integratedTime` as a trusted timestamp (vulnerable) and returns `undefined` for it (fixed). - The real `Verifier.verify()` **succeeds** on a real cert-signed bundle mutated to be inclusionProof-only with an attacker-chosen `integratedTime`, accepting a certificate that is **expired now** (`notAfter = 2025-12-14T02:14:39Z`, `now = 2026-07-02…`) because the unauthenticated `integratedTime` is set inside the cert's validity window (`notBefore = 2025-12-14T02:04:39Z`). The fixed build rejects the identical bundle with `TIMESTAMP_ERROR`. - **Parity:** `full` — the disclosed trust gap (unauthenticated `integratedTime` used for certificate validity / `timestampThreshold`) is demonstrated through the real `@sigstore/verify` verification path with a concrete expired-certificate-accepted outcome and a fixed-version negative control. - **Not demonstrated:** No code execution / memory corruption is claimed or demonstrated; the impact is a verification/authenticity bypass (CWE-345). ## Root Cause `toSignedEntity` (bundle/index.ts) turns every tlog entry with `integratedTime != '0'` into a `transparency-log` timestamp. `verifyTimestamps` (verifier.ts) then calls `getTLogTimestamp(entry)` (timestamp/index.ts) which, in the vulnerable code, unconditionally returns: ```ts return { type: 'transparency-log', logID: entry.logId.keyId, timestamp: new Date(Number(entry.integratedTime) * 1000), }; ``` with **no check that `entry.inclusionPromise` exists**. That result is counted toward `timestampThreshold` and is returned to `verifySigningKey`, which calls `verifyCertificate(cert, timestamps, trustMaterial)` → `verifyCertificateChain(timestamp, leaf, CAs)` — i.e. the certificate's validity window is checked **at the attacker-chosen `integratedTime`**, not at the current time and not at a cryptographically-bound time. Critically, `verify()` performs `verifyTimestamps` (and thus the certificate-validity decision) **before** `verifyTLogs` (the inclusion-proof check), so the unauthenticated time is consumed before any check that could constrain it. Only the `inclusionPromise`/SET path (`verifyTLogSET` in tlog/set.ts) signs over `integratedTime` (`body`, `integratedTime`, `logIndex`, `logID`). The `inclusionProof` path (`verifyCheckpoint` + `verifyMerkleInclusion`) verifies Merkle inclusion against a signed checkpoint but does **not** bind `integratedTime`. Therefore an inclusionProof-only entry can pass inclusion verification while leaving `integratedTime` fully attacker-controlled. **Fix commit:** `f074710` ("reject integratedTime w/o inclusionPromise (#1659)"). ```diff export function getTLogTimestamp( entry: TransparencyLogEntry -): TimestampVerificationResult { +): TimestampVerificationResult | undefined { + // Only entries with an inclusion promise provide a verifiable timestamp + if (!entry.inclusionPromise) { + return undefined; + } + return { type: 'transparency-log', logID: entry.logId.keyId, ``` and in `verifier.ts`, `verifyTimestamps` now only pushes the result when it is defined and compares `timestamps.length` against `timestampThreshold` (so an inclusionProof-only entry no longer counts toward the threshold nor feeds certificate validity). ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Script:** `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (self-contained; harness at `bundle/repro/harness_test.ts`). 2. **What it does:** - Reuses/clones `sigstore/sigstore-js` into the durable project cache (`/repo`). - Resolves the fixed commit `f074710` and its parent `7845532` (vulnerable, `@sigstore/verify` 3.1.0). - For each commit: `git checkout`, `npm ci` (if needed), `npm run build` (builds the workspace so jest can resolve `@sigstore/bundle`/`core`/`jest` via their `dist`), copies the harness into `packages/verify/src/__tests__/cve_repro.test.ts`, and runs it via `npx jest --selectProjects verify --testPathPatterns cve_repro.test.ts`. - The harness (run at both commits) exercises the **real** `@sigstore/verify` source and emits behavior markers to `$REPRO_LOG`: - **Part A** — callsite: `getTLogTimestamp()` on an inclusionProof-only entry with an attacker-chosen `integratedTime`. - **Part B** — `Verifier.verify()` (public-key path) where the **sole** timestamp is the inclusionProof-only entry's `integratedTime` (`timestampThreshold:1`, `tlogThreshold:0`). - **Part C** — `Verifier.verify()` (certificate path) on the **real** cert-signed fixture `V3.MESSAGE_SIGNATURE.TLOG_HASHEDREKORDV002`, mutated so the inclusionProof-only entry's `integratedTime` is a non-zero value inside the (expired) certificate's validity window and the RFC3161 timestamp is removed — making the unauthenticated `integratedTime` the only timestamp source. - Evaluates markers and writes `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` and `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json`. 3. **Expected evidence of reproduction:** - `bundle/logs/canonical.log` (vulnerable) contains `[CALLSITE_HIT]` and `[PROOF_MARKER]`, including the certificate-path line showing an expired cert accepted via unauthenticated `integratedTime`. - `bundle/logs/control.log` (fixed) contains `[NC_MARKER]` only (`getTLogTimestamp` returns `undefined`; `Verifier.verify()` throws `TIMESTAMP_ERROR`), with **no** `[PROOF_MARKER]`. - Script exits 0. ## Evidence - **Marker logs:** - `bundle/logs/canonical.log` - `bundle/logs/control.log` - **Raw jest output:** - `bundle/logs/canonical_jest.log` - `bundle/logs/control_jest.log` - **Build logs:** `bundle/logs/canonical_build.log`, `bundle/logs/control_build.log` - **Harness:** `bundle/repro/harness_test.ts` - **Manifest/verdict:** `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json`, `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json` Key excerpts (vulnerable canonical run, `bundle/logs/canonical.log`): ``` [CALLSITE_HIT] [PROOF_MARKER]: getTLogTimestamp() accepted UNAUTHENTICATED tlog integratedTime=1763174679 as a trusted timestamp (2025-11-15T02:44:39.000Z); entry has NO inclusionPromise (inclusionProof-only) -> integratedTime not cryptographically bound [PROOF_MARKER]: Verifier.verify() (public-key path) SUCCEEDED; sole timestamp was UNAUTHENTICATED tlog integratedTime=1763174679 from inclusionProof-only entry -> timestampThreshold satisfied & key validity accepted on attacker-chosen time [CALLSITE_HIT] [PROOF_MARKER]: Verifier.verify() (certificate path) SUCCEEDED for a cert that is EXPIRED now (notBefore=2025-12-14T02:04:39.000Z, notAfter=2025-12-14T02:14:39.000Z, now=2026-07-02T18:09:39.516Z) using UNAUTHENTICATED tlog integratedTime=1765677909 from an inclusionProof-only entry -> certificate validity window satisfied by attacker-chosen, unauthenticated time ``` Key excerpts (fixed control run, `bundle/logs/control.log`): ``` [NC_MARKER]: getTLogTimestamp() returned undefined for inclusionProof-only entry (no inclusionPromise) -> untrusted integratedTime rejected [NC_MARKER]: Verifier.verify() (public-key path) rejected with TIMESTAMP_ERROR -> inclusionProof-only integratedTime no longer counts toward timestampThreshold [NC_MARKER]: Verifier.verify() (certificate path) rejected with TIMESTAMP_ERROR -> inclusionProof-only integratedTime not counted as a trusted timestamp; no signed timestamp present ``` - **Environment:** Node v24.18.0, npm 11.16.0, jest 30 with `@swc/jest` (swc via bundled wasm binding). Repo built with `tsc --build tsconfig.build.json`. Vulnerable commit `7845532` (`@sigstore/verify` 3.1.0); fixed commit `f074710` (`@sigstore/verify` 3.1.1). Marker counts: canonical `CALLSITE_HIT=2 PROOF_MARKER=3`; control `NC_MARKER=3 PROOF_MARKER=0`. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade:** Consumers of `@sigstore/verify` should upgrade to **>= 3.1.1** (fix commit `f074710`). - **Defense in depth:** When accepting attacker-provided bundles, do not treat `integratedTime` from inclusionProof-only entries as a trusted timestamp. Require a signed `inclusionPromise`/SET or an RFC3161 timestamp for any time-based decision (certificate validity, `timestampThreshold`). - **Testing recommendations:** Add regression tests that (a) feed an inclusionProof-only entry with a non-zero `integratedTime` and assert `getTLogTimestamp` returns `undefined`, and (b) assert a bundle whose only timestamp is such an entry is rejected with `TIMESTAMP_ERROR`. The upstream fix already added the `getTLogTimestamp` "no inclusion promise -> undefined" test; the certificate-validity impact path demonstrated here is a useful additional regression case. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** `reproduction_steps.sh` was run twice consecutively; both runs exited 0 with identical marker counts (`canonical: CALLSITE_HIT=2, PROOF_MARKER=3`; `control: NC_MARKER=3, PROOF_MARKER=0`). The script cleans `packages/verify/dist` and `*.tsbuildinfo` per commit and re-copies the harness, so runs are deterministic. - **Surface alignment:** The ticket's `claimed_surface` is `library_api` with `required_entrypoint_kind=function_call`. The proof exercises the real `@sigstore/verify` library functions (`getTLogTimestamp`, `toSignedEntity`, `Verifier.verify`, `toTrustMaterial`) through a jest harness, including a real cert-signed bundle fixture — matching the claimed surface. - **Scope/limitations:** The reproduction demonstrates the verification authenticity/integrity bypass (an expired certificate accepted as valid via an unauthenticated timestamp). It does **not** demonstrate code execution or memory corruption (none is claimed). Part C uses a real sigstore bundle fixture whose certificate is expired relative to the run time; the attacker influence is the `integratedTime` value, which is the exact unauthenticated field identified by the advisory. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-02T19:50:52.050Z - Duration: 1134s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00210 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-48816 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00210 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00210/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00210 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00209: Oj Ruby gem stack buffer overflow via large :indent value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: medium Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00209 - CVE: CVE-2026-54502 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-54502) ### Package Information - Name: oj - Ecosystem: Ruby - Affected: < 3.17.2 (per user); GitHub advisory lists affected < 3.17.2, patched 3.17.3 - Fixed: 3.17.3 ### Root Cause # RCA Report: CVE-2026-54502 (Oj stack buffer overflow via large :indent) ## Summary The Oj Ruby gem (ohler55/oj) is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in versions prior to 3.17.2. When `Oj.dump` is called with a large `:indent` option (e.g., `INT_MAX`), the native `fill_indent` helper in `ext/oj/dump.h` multiplies the indentation count by `out->indent` and calls `memset(out->cur, ' ', cnt)` without validating that the destination buffer can hold the requested bytes. The stack-allocated output buffer is only a few kilobytes, so a 2 GB `memset` corrupts the stack and crashes the Ruby interpreter with a SIGSEGV. Commit `ec368db` ("Fix stack limits (#1014)", released as 3.17.2) mitigates the issue by rejecting `:indent` values greater than 16 at the option-parsing layer. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** `ohler55/oj` (Optimized JSON gem for Ruby), specifically the C extension `ext/oj/dump.c` and the inline `fill_indent` helper in `ext/oj/dump.h`. - **Affected versions:** Prior to 3.17.2 (vulnerable parent commit `4587e87`; fix commit `ec368db`). - **Risk level and consequences:** Medium severity. A developer-controlled `:indent` value of `2147483647` causes a deterministic native crash (SIGSEGV) due to stack corruption. In processes that expose JSON serialization to untrusted input, this could be used for denial of service or, with further research, potentially memory corruption exploitation. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** memory corruption (stack buffer overflow) / crash. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Native SIGSEGV crash in `Oj.dump` on the vulnerable version; the same call is cleanly rejected with an `ArgumentError` on the fixed version. - **Parity:** `full` — the reproduced crash directly matches the claimed memory-corruption impact. - **Not demonstrated:** Full arbitrary code execution was not attempted; only the crash/memory-corruption symptom was proven. ## Root Cause `ext/oj/dump.h` defines an inline function: ```c inline static void fill_indent(Out out, int cnt) { if (0 < out->indent) { cnt *= out->indent; *out->cur++ = '\n'; memset(out->cur, ' ', cnt); out->cur += cnt; } } ``` `out->indent` is populated from the Ruby `:indent` option in `ext/oj/oj.c` (`parse_options_cb`). In the vulnerable code there is no upper bound on the value, so passing `indent: 2147483647` makes `cnt` equal to `INT_MAX` and `memset` attempts to write ~2 GB of spaces into the stack-allocated output buffer, causing a stack overflow and SIGSEGV. Fix commit `ec368db` ("Fix stack limits (#1014)") introduces `MAX_INDENT 16` and raises `rb_raise(rb_eArgError, "indent is limited to %d characters.", MAX_INDENT)` when the provided indent exceeds that limit. This validation is performed before the value reaches `fill_indent`, preventing the overflow. - **Fix commit:** `ec368dbe936ef0104b782e4b0f67b17d6c7276f7` - **Vulnerable commit:** `4587e87e23adc9a4163834dc8c9ba9d7206c6501` (parent of fix, matches v3.17.1) ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script reads `bundle/project_cache_context.json` and clones the Oj repository from the project cache into `bundle/artifacts/oj-vuln` and `bundle/artifacts/oj-fixed`. 3. It checks out the vulnerable commit (`4587e87`) in one copy, builds the C extension, and runs: ```ruby Oj.dump({a: 1}, indent: 2147483647) ``` This produces a SIGSEGV (exit code 139) and the Ruby interpreter prints a segmentation-fault backtrace. 4. It checks out the fixed commit (`ec368db`) in the second copy, builds the C extension, and runs the same Ruby call. The fixed version raises an `ArgumentError`: ``` indent is limited to 16 characters. ``` 5. The script compares the two outcomes and writes `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` and `bundle/repro/validation_verdict.json`. ### Expected evidence of reproduction - `bundle/logs/vulnerable.log`: contains `[BUG] Segmentation fault at ...` and the Ruby/C backtrace. - `bundle/logs/fixed.log`: contains `ArgumentError: indent is limited to 16 characters.` - `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log`: contains the full build/test output and the final `CONFIRMED` line. ## Evidence ### Environment - Ruby 3.3.8 (x86_64-linux-gnu) - Oj vulnerable commit `4587e87` (VERSION 3.17.1) - Oj fixed commit `ec368db` (VERSION 3.17.2) - C extension built directly with `extconf.rb` + `make` in each checkout ### Key excerpts **Vulnerable run (`bundle/logs/vulnerable.log`):** ``` -e:1: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x00007ffc5049e000 ruby 3.3.8 (2025-04-09 revision b200bad6cd) [x86_64-linux-gnu] -- Control frame information ----------------------------------------------- c:0003 p:---- s:0012 e:000011 CFUNC :dump ... -- Machine register context ------------------------------------------------ ... RDX: 0x000000007fffffff ... ``` The `RDX` register holds `0x7fffffff` (`INT_MAX`), matching the requested indent size. **Fixed run (`bundle/logs/fixed.log`):** ``` -e:1:in `dump': indent is limited to 16 characters. (ArgumentError) require 'oj'; puts Oj::VERSION; Oj.dump({a: 1}, indent: 2147483647); puts 'no crash' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ from -e:1:in `
' 3.17.2 ``` **Driver log (`bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log`):** ``` VULN_RESULT=0 FIXED_RESULT=1 CONFIRMED: vulnerable version crashes with SIGSEGV, fixed version does not. ``` ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Suggested fix:** Apply the upstream patch from `ec368db` and enforce a maximum `:indent` value (currently 16) at the option-parsing layer, before any native buffer operation. Any location that accepts user-provided indentation settings should validate the value. - **Upgrade guidance:** Upgrade to Oj 3.17.2 or later. The vulnerable behavior is fixed by the upstream validation. - **Testing recommendations:** Add regression tests that call `Oj.dump` with `indent: 2147483647` and expect an `ArgumentError`. Also test with a variety of nested objects/arrays and negative/edge-case indent values to ensure no other path reaches `fill_indent` with an unbounded size. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The script was executed twice successfully from a clean state and from a state where the artifact clones already existed. Both runs produced the same SIGSEGV on the vulnerable build and `ArgumentError` on the fixed build, then exited with code 0 and wrote the required runtime manifest and verdict. - **Edge cases / limitations:** The reproduction uses the exact Ruby API call named in the ticket (`Oj.dump(..., indent: INT_MAX)`). The crash is a native SIGSEGV, not a sanitizer report; no ASAN/UBSAN build was used, so the primary oracle is the process exit status and the Ruby interpreter's segmentation-fault backtrace. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-02T19:47:40.952Z - Duration: 1113s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00209 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-54502 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00209 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00209/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00209 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00208: Oj Ruby gem uninitialized stack memory leak via long JSON keys -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: medium Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00208 - CVE: CVE-2026-54500 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-54500) ### Package Information - Name: oj (Optimized JSON) Ruby gem - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # RCA Report — CVE-2026-54500 ## Summary Oj (Optimized JSON), a Ruby gem with a C extension, contains an uninitialized stack memory read in `ext/oj/intern.c`'s `form_attr()` function. When `Oj.load` parses a JSON object in `:object` mode whose key is 254 bytes or longer, the long-key code path allocates a heap buffer `b`, correctly fills it with the attribute name, then frees it — but passes the **uninitialized** 256-byte stack buffer `buf` (not `b`) to `rb_intern3()`. Ruby therefore interns `len + 1` bytes of uninitialized stack memory (and, for keys ≥ 256 bytes, reads out of bounds past `buf`). The leaked bytes surface to the caller via the produced Symbol or via the `EncodingError` message raised when the stack garbage is not valid UTF-8, disclosing process stack contents. The fix is a single-character change: `rb_intern3(buf, ...)` → `rb_intern3(b, ...)`. ## Impact - **Package/component:** `ohler55/oj` — C extension, `ext/oj/intern.c`, `form_attr()` - **Affected versions:** Oj 0.0.1 – 3.17.2 (fixed in 3.17.3) - **Risk level:** Medium - **Consequences:** Information disclosure of process stack memory. An attacker who controls the JSON input (a key ≥ 254 bytes) can cause `Oj.load` to read and surface uninitialized stack bytes. The leak is observable through the `EncodingError` exception message (which embeds the invalid bytes) or through the produced Symbol object. The exact bytes and message length vary between process invocations, confirming the source is uninitialized (non-deterministic) memory. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact:** Uninitialized stack memory read / out-of-bounds read, leaking process stack contents via Symbol or EncodingError message. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Uninitialized stack memory read confirmed. Every vulnerable run raised an `EncodingError` whose message contained 1262–1423 bytes of non-input (leaked stack) data, with message lengths varying across runs (1276–1432 bytes). The fixed version produced the correct, deterministic attribute name with zero leaked bytes. - **Parity:** `full` — the disclosed information-disclosure symptom (uninitialized stack memory surfacing via the EncodingError message, with per-run variation) was reproduced exactly, and the negative control on the fixed commit confirmed the fix. - **Not demonstrated:** No code execution was claimed or demonstrated; this is an information-disclosure / memory-read bug, not a code-execution vulnerability. ## Root Cause In `ext/oj/intern.c`, `form_attr(const char *str, size_t len)` converts a JSON object key into a Ruby attribute ID (interned symbol). It declares a 256-byte stack buffer `buf` (uninitialized) and branches on key length: ```c static VALUE form_attr(const char *str, size_t len) { char buf[256]; // UNINITIALIZED if (sizeof(buf) - 2 <= len) { // long-key path: len >= 254 char *b = OJ_R_ALLOC_N(char, len + 2); // heap buffer ID id; // ... b is filled correctly with '@' + key + '\0' ... id = rb_intern3(buf, len + 1, oj_utf8_encoding); // BUG: reads `buf`, not `b` OJ_R_FREE(b); return id; } // short-key path: buf IS properly filled before use (correct) ... return (VALUE)rb_intern3(buf, len + 1, oj_utf8_encoding); } ``` In the long-key path, `b` is the correctly-populated heap buffer, but `rb_intern3` is called with `buf` — the uninitialized stack buffer. `rb_intern3` reads `len + 1` bytes from `buf`. When `len >= 256`, this also reads out of bounds past the 256-byte `buf`. The bytes are interned as a symbol; if they are not valid UTF-8, Ruby raises an `EncodingError` whose message includes the offending bytes, leaking them to the caller. This is a duplicate of an earlier fix in `ext/oj/usual.c` that was missed in `intern.c`. **Call path:** `Oj.load(json, mode: :object)` → `object.c:oj_set_obj_ivar()` → `intern.c:oj_attr_intern()` → `cache.c:cache_intern()` → `intern.c:form_attr()`. Since `CACHE_MAX_KEY` is 35, keys ≥ 35 bytes bypass the cache and call `form_attr` directly every time, so the uninitialized read occurs on every invocation with a long key. **Fix commit:** `bbde91a679728f94c4492ebc3683f4fa3309049f` ("Fix intern.c and fast.c (#1015)") — changes `rb_intern3(buf, len + 1, oj_utf8_encoding)` to `rb_intern3(b, len + 1, oj_utf8_encoding)` in the long-key path of `form_attr()`. ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Reference:** `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (self-contained, idempotent). 2. **What the script does:** - Installs Ruby + build tools, clones (or reuses) `ohler55/oj`. - Checks out the **vulnerable** commit `495cc38` (v3.17.2, parent of the fix), builds the C extension via `ruby extconf.rb && make`. - Runs `Oj.load('{"^o":"Oj::Bag","AAA...300...AAA":1}', mode: :object)` in 6 separate Ruby processes. The `^o:Oj::Bag` marker creates a non-Hash object so that `oj_set_obj_ivar` → `oj_attr_intern` → `form_attr` is invoked. - Checks out the **fixed** commit `bbde91a`, rebuilds, and runs the same probe 6 times as a negative control. - Compares results, writes `runtime_manifest.json`, and exits 0 if confirmed. 3. **Expected evidence:** - Vulnerable: all runs raise `EncodingError`; message lengths vary per run (1276–1432 bytes), with 1262–1423 non-`A` (leaked stack) bytes. - Fixed: all runs return an `Oj::Bag` with a single 301-byte instance variable `@AAA...` (0x40 + 300×0x41), deterministic across all runs. ## Evidence - **Log:** `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` — full build + probe transcript. - **Vulnerable outcomes:** `bundle/logs/vuln_outcomes.txt` - **Fixed outcomes:** `bundle/logs/fixed_outcomes.txt` - **Message-length variation:** `bundle/logs/vuln_msg_lengths.txt` - **Probe script:** `bundle/repro/probe.rb` - **Runtime manifest:** `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` ### Key excerpts (from the second verification run) **Vulnerable (commit 495cc38, v3.17.2) — all 6 runs leak:** ``` [vuln run 1] encoding_error MSG_LEN=1348 NON_A_BYTES=1339 [vuln run 2] encoding_error MSG_LEN=1349 NON_A_BYTES=1341 [vuln run 3] encoding_error MSG_LEN=1350 NON_A_BYTES=1343 [vuln run 4] encoding_error MSG_LEN=1276 NON_A_BYTES=1262 [vuln run 5] encoding_error MSG_LEN=1432 NON_A_BYTES=1423 [vuln run 6] encoding_error MSG_LEN=1368 NON_A_BYTES=1343 ``` The `EncodingError` message begins `invalid symbol in encoding UTF-8 :"` followed by Ruby `\xNN` escapes of the leaked stack bytes (e.g. `\xB8\xFF`, `\xD8\xFF`, `\xC0\xFF`) — these are pointers/binary data, not the 0x41 (`A`) input bytes. The message length varies across runs (1348–1432), which is impossible for deterministic, initialized data and confirms the source is uninitialized stack memory. **Fixed (commit bbde91a) — all 6 runs clean:** ``` [fixed run 1] parsed IVAR_LEN=301 CORRECT_ATTR=true FIRST_BYTES=40414141... [fixed run 2] parsed IVAR_LEN=301 CORRECT_ATTR=true FIRST_BYTES=40414141... ... (identical for all 6 runs) ``` `FIRST_BYTES` = `40` (`@`) + `41` (`A`) repeated — the correct, deterministic attribute name. No `EncodingError`, no leaked bytes. ### Environment - Ruby 3.3.8 (x86_64-linux-gnu), GCC 15.2.0, Ubuntu. - Oj built from source at vulnerable commit `495cc38` and fixed commit `bbde91a`. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade to Oj 3.17.3+** which contains the one-character fix. - **Audit `ext/oj/usual.c` and any other copies** of the `form_attr` pattern for the same `buf`/`b` confusion (this was already a duplicate of a `usual.c` fix). - **Add a regression test** that parses a JSON object with a ≥ 254-byte key in `:object` mode and asserts the resulting attribute name matches the input. - Consider compiling with `-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern` to make uninitialized reads more visible in CI, and enabling MSan/ASan in the test suite. ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The script was run twice consecutively; both runs exited 0 with `CONFIRMED=true`. The script cleans all build artifacts between vulnerable/fixed builds (`git clean -fdx ext/oj lib/oj`) and uses a manual `extconf.rb + make` flow (avoiding `rake compile`, which loads bundler and can interfere with the git checkout state). - **Key-length boundary:** The bug triggers at `len >= 254` (`sizeof(buf) - 2 = 254`). At `len >= 256` the read also goes out of bounds past the 256-byte `buf`. The reproduction uses a 300-byte key to exercise both the uninitialized read and the OOB read. - **Cache bypass:** Because `CACHE_MAX_KEY = 35`, the 300-byte key bypasses the attribute cache entirely, so `form_attr` is called fresh on every invocation — maximizing the observable per-run variation. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-02T19:44:32.031Z - Duration: 1241s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00208 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-54500 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00208 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00208/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00208 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00207: @fastify/middie encoded slash bypass on parameterized middleware paths -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00207 - CVE: CVE-2026-14198 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-14198) ### Package Information - Name: @fastify/middie - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # CVE-2026-14198 — Root Cause Analysis ## Summary `@fastify/middie` versions 9.1.0 through 9.3.2 decode the percent-encoded slash `%2F` inside path-parameter values **before** matching middleware paths, while Fastify's underlying router (`find-my-way`) preserves the encoding during route lookup. The two layers therefore disagree on the canonical request path: middie normalizes `/user/a%2Fb/comments` to `/user/a/b/comments` (which no longer matches the guard `/user/:id/comments`), but the router still matches the route and dispatches to the handler. The result is an HTTP-method-agnostic authentication / authorization bypass: an unauthenticated attacker reaches a protected handler on a parameterized path by embedding an encoded slash in the parameter position. ## Impact - **Package / component affected:** `@fastify/middie` (`lib/engine.js`, `normalizePathForMatching`). - **Affected versions:** 9.1.0 – 9.3.2 (confirmed against 9.3.2; fixed in 9.3.3). - **Risk level:** Critical. Any application that uses middie middleware for authentication, authorization, rate limiting, or auditing on a **parameterized** path (e.g. `/api/:resource`, `/user/:id/comments`) can have that guard silently bypassed with a single crafted URL. No authentication or preconditions are required and the bypass is HTTP-method agnostic. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed / claimed maximum impact:** Authentication/authorization bypass on parameterized middleware paths; an attacker reaches a protected handler without credentials. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** A real Fastify + middie server with an API-key auth guard on `/user/:id/comments` returns **200 `{"ok":true,"id":"a/b"}`** for an unauthenticated request to `/user/a%2Fb/comments` — the guard is bypassed and the protected handler executes. The same request against the fixed build returns **401 Unauthorized**. - **Parity:** `full`. The exact claimed bypass (unauthenticated reach of a protected parameterized-path handler via an encoded slash) was demonstrated through both the Fastify `app.inject` library entrypoint and a real `127.0.0.1` HTTP server. - **Not demonstrated:** This is an authorization/authn bypass, not memory corruption or code execution; no crash or RCE is claimed or reproduced. ## Root Cause In `lib/engine.js`, every request is normalized for middleware matching via `normalizePathForMatching(url, options)`. In the vulnerable version that function calls: ```js path = FindMyWay.sanitizeUrlPath(path, options.useSemicolonDelimiter) ``` `sanitizeUrlPath` **decodes** percent-encoded characters, so `%2F` becomes a literal `/`. When a guard is registered on a parameterized prefix such as `/user/:id/comments` (compiled with `path-to-regexp`, `end:false`), the decoded path `/user/a/b/comments` has an extra segment and **fails to match** the guard's regexp. middie therefore runs zero middleware and Fastify's router — which keeps `%2F` encoded during lookup — still matches the route `/user/:id/comments` (with `id = "a/b"`) and dispatches the handler. The guard is skipped. The fix (commit `61d90cd`, "fix(engine): preserve encoded slashes in middleware params", released as 9.3.3) replaces the decoder with find-my-way's safe decoder that **preserves reserved characters** such as `%2F`: ```js const { safeDecodeURI } = require('find-my-way/lib/url-sanitizer') ... path = safeDecodeURI(path, options.useSemicolonDelimiter).path path = decodeNestedPercentEncodedBytes(path) // %25xx -> %xx only ``` With `safeDecodeURI`, `/user/a%2Fb/comments` stays `/user/a%2Fb/comments` for middleware matching, which matches `/user/:id/comments`, so the guard runs and blocks unauthenticated requests (401). Ordinary percent-encoded bytes and nested `%25xx` encodings remain compatible with previous matching behavior, and the malformed percent-encoding 400 handling is preserved. - **Fix commit:** `61d90cd0f578367283b486cb95f3b8c14bf3ddbf` ("fix(engine): preserve encoded slashes in middleware params", v9.3.3). - **Advisory ref:** GHSA-2v46-jxjm-7q3v. ## Reproduction Steps 1. The self-contained script is `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. It: - Reads `bundle/project_cache_context.json` and reuses the prepared project cache (`repo-vuln-v932` = 9.3.2 vulnerable, `repo` = 9.3.3 fixed), with an `npm install` fallback to `@fastify/middie@9.3.2` / `@fastify/middie@9.3.3` if the cache is absent. - Registers a Fastify app with middie, an API-key auth guard on the parameterized middleware path `/user/:id/comments`, and a protected handler on the same pattern. - Exercises the **library_api** entrypoint via `app.inject` and a **real HTTP server** on `127.0.0.1` (raw node http client that preserves `%2F`) for both the vulnerable and the fixed build. - Asserts: vulnerable bypass → 200 (handler reached, guard bypassed); fixed bypass → 401 (guard matches); baseline → 401; allowed (with key) → 200 for both. 2. Expected evidence: the vulnerable build returns `200 {"ok":true,"id":"a/b"}` for the unauthenticated `/user/a%2Fb/comments` request, while the fixed build returns `401 {"error":"Unauthorized"}`. A clean divergence proves the bypass and the patch. ## Evidence - **Master log:** `bundle/logs/reproduction_steps.log` - **Inject harness results:** `bundle/artifacts/inject_vuln.json`, `bundle/artifacts/inject_fixed.json` (and `bundle/logs/inject_vuln.log`, `bundle/logs/inject_fixed.log`) - **Real HTTP server evidence:** - `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln/server.log`, `bundle/artifacts/http/vuln/responses.txt` - `bundle/artifacts/http/fixed/server.log`, `bundle/artifacts/http/fixed/responses.txt` - **Runtime manifest:** `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` Key excerpts (real HTTP server, raw node client preserving `%2F`): ``` === vulnerable-server /user/a%2Fb/comments (NO api key) === STATUS:200 {"ok":true,"id":"a/b"} <-- guard bypassed, protected handler reached === fixed-server /user/a%2Fb/comments (NO api key) === STATUS:401 {"error":"Unauthorized"} <-- guard now matches and blocks === both builds baseline /user/alice/comments (NO api key) === STATUS:401 {"error":"Unauthorized"} <-- guard works for normal paths === both builds /user/a%2Fb/comments (WITH api key) === STATUS:200 {"ok":true,"id":"a/b"} <-- route still matches when allowed ``` Result summary from the script: ``` inject vuln: baseline=401 bypass=200 allowed=200 inject fixed: baseline=401 bypass=401 allowed=200 server vuln: baseline=401 bypass=200 server fixed: baseline=401 bypass=401 ``` Environment: Node.js v24.18.0, `@fastify/middie` 9.3.2 (vulnerable) and 9.3.3 (fixed), Fastify from each workspace's `node_modules`. The vulnerable `lib/engine.js` uses `FindMyWay.sanitizeUrlPath` (decodes `%2F`); the fixed `lib/engine.js` uses `safeDecodeURI` (preserves `%2F`). ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade** to `@fastify/middie@9.3.3` or later immediately. The fix preserves encoded slashes in middleware matching so parameterized guards can no longer be bypassed. - **Audit** existing middleware registrations: any guard on a parameterized path (`/:param`, `/api/:resource`, `/user/:id/...`) used for authn/authz/rate-limiting is a candidate bypass surface on vulnerable versions. - **Defense in depth:** do not rely solely on middleware for authorization; also enforce authorization inside route handlers, and normalize/reject encoded slashes at the edge where appropriate. - **Regression test:** the upstream fix ships `test/security-encoded-slash-param-bypass.test.js`; keep it in CI. Add cases for additional encodings (`%2f` lower-case, double-encoded `%252F`) and method-agnostic checks (POST/PUT/DELETE). ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** `reproduction_steps.sh` was executed twice consecutively; both runs exited 0 with identical results (vulnerable bypass=200, fixed bypass=401). Servers are started on fixed localhost ports and torn down via `trap`/`SIGTERM`, so repeated runs are clean. - **Two surfaces, one bug:** the bypass is demonstrated both through the canonical library entrypoint (`app.inject`, classified as `library_api` to match the submitted claim surface) and over a real `127.0.0.1` TCP socket with a raw node http client that preserves `%2F` (curl `--path-as-is` was also verified to preserve `%2F`). - **Limitations / edge cases:** the bypass requires the guard to be registered on a *parameterized* path; a static-prefix guard (e.g. `/api`) is not bypassed by this specific vector. Lower-case `%2f` is equivalent to `%2F` for the decoder and is bypassed the same way. The malformed-percent (`/%zz`) 400 handling is preserved by the fix. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-02T19:41:22.823Z - Duration: 586s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00207 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-14198 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00207 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00207/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00207 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00206: runc symlink deletion via malicious /dev symlink in container image -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: low Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00206 - CVE: CVE-2026-41579 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41579) ### Package Information - Name: github.com/opencontainers/runc - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # CVE-2026-41579 — Root Cause Analysis ## Summary CVE-2026-41579 is a low-severity host filesystem integrity issue in opencontainers/runc. When runc prepares a container rootfs, the functions `setupPtmx` and `setupDevSymlinks` operate on path strings under the bundle rootfs before `pivot_root(2)` occurs. If the container image has `/dev` as a symlink that points outside the rootfs (for example to a host directory controlled by the attacker), `filepath.Join(rootfs, "/dev/ptmx")` resolves through the symlink and runc deletes or re-creates files on the host. A malicious image can therefore trick runc into removing an existing file named `ptmx` and creating a small fixed set of device symlinks in an attacker-chosen host directory. ## Impact - **Package / component:** opencontainers/runc - **Affected versions:** prior to 1.3.6, 1.4.0-rc.1 through 1.4.3, and 1.5.0-rc.1 through 1.5.0-rc.3 - **Risk level:** low (per upstream advisory) - **Consequences:** Arbitrary deletion of a host file named `ptmx` and creation of a limited set of hardcoded symlinks in a host directory reachable via a malicious `/dev` symlink. Not exploitable under Docker, but exploitable via other runc-based runtimes that do not mask `/dev` with a top-level read-only layer. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed / claimed maximum impact:** Arbitrary file deletion and symlink creation on the host filesystem through a malicious container image (`/dev` symlink). - **Reproduced impact from this run:** Vulnerable runc deleted a decoy file named `ptmx` and replaced it with a symlink in an attacker-controlled directory; fixed runc left the decoy untouched. - **Parity:** `full` for the documented filesystem-integrity impact. The reproduction does not demonstrate privilege escalation or code execution, which is consistent with the advisory's low-severity rating. ## Root Cause The bug is in runc's rootfs preparation code. Before the container pivots into its rootfs, `setupPtmx` and `setupDevSymlinks` use `filepath.Join(rootfs, "/dev/...")` and then call `os.Remove` / `os.Symlink`. Because the operations happen before `pivot_root`, a `/dev` entry in the image that is a symlink to an attacker-controlled host directory is followed, causing the operations to affect the host path instead of the container rootfs. Upstream fix commit: - `opencontainers/runc@864db8042dbb` — "rootfs: make /dev initialisation code fd-based" The fix rewrites the `/dev` setup code to operate on file descriptors relative to the opened rootfs directory, so symlinks in the image cannot redirect the operations to host paths. ## Reproduction Steps The reproduction is implemented in `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. At a high level it: 1. Verifies Docker is available. 2. Downloads the vulnerable runc release binary (`v1.3.5`) and the fixed release binary (`v1.3.6`). 3. Builds a minimal OCI rootfs from the official `busybox` image. 4. Builds two privileged Docker images (`repro-runc-vuln` and `repro-runc-fixed`) that each contain one runc binary and the rootfs. 5. Inside a privileged container, replaces `/bundle/rootfs/dev` with a symlink to `/controlled_dev` and creates a decoy `/controlled_dev/ptmx`. 6. Generates an OCI bundle with `runc spec`, disables the terminal, and sets the command to `/bin/true`. 7. Runs `runc run cve-ptmx-test -b /bundle`. 8. Checks whether the decoy file was deleted. Expected evidence: - **Vulnerable (1.3.5):** the `ptmx` decoy is removed and `/controlled_dev` contains symlinks such as `ptmx -> pts/ptmx`, `core -> /proc/kcore`, `fd -> /proc/self/fd`, etc. - **Fixed (1.3.6):** the `ptmx` decoy remains untouched and runc does not create host symlinks. ## Evidence - `bundle/logs/repro_vuln.log` — vulnerable runc 1.3.5 deletes the decoy and creates host symlinks. - `bundle/logs/repro_fixed.log` — fixed runc 1.3.6 preserves the decoy. - `bundle/logs/build_repro-runc-vuln.log` — Docker build log for the vulnerable image. - `bundle/logs/build_repro-runc-fixed.log` — Docker build log for the fixed image. - `bundle/repro/runtime_manifest.json` — runtime evidence manifest produced by the script. Key excerpts: Vulnerable run: ```text RUN_VERSION: runc version 1.3.5 BEFORE: /controlled_dev/ptmx present? -rw-r---- 1 root root 10 ... ptmx ... AFTER: /controlled_dev contents: -rw-r--r-- ... ptmx RESULT: decoy deleted ``` Fixed run: ```text RUN_VERSION: runc version 1.3.6 BEFORE: /controlled_dev/ptmx present? -rw-r--r-- ... ptmx ... AFTER: /controlled_dev contents: -rw-r--r-- ... ptmx RESULT: decoy preserved ``` ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade runc to a patched version: **1.3.6**, **1.4.3**, or **1.5.0** (or later). - Higher-level runtimes that consume runc should ensure container images cannot ship a `/dev` symlink that resolves to a host path, or rely on the patched runc version. - Regression tests should include a rootfs where `/dev` is a symlink to a controlled host directory and verify that `setupPtmx`/`setupDevSymlinks` do not operate on the host path. ## Additional Notes - The script is idempotent: it re-downloads only missing binaries, rebuilds the Docker images each run, and uses unique container names. - The reproduction uses the real `runc` CLI binary and the real OCI bundle execution path (`runc run`), not a reimplemented parser or mocked environment. - The Docker-in-Docker privileged container is required in this sandbox because the host environment lacks `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` and a writable cgroup hierarchy; inside the privileged container runc has the capabilities needed to create a genuine container. - No sanitizer or crash is involved; the proof relies on the filesystem state difference between the vulnerable and fixed versions. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-02T19:38:13.955Z - Duration: 1521s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00206 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-41579 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00206 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00206/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00206 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00205: auth-fetch-mcp SSRF via IPv4-mapped IPv6 loopback bypass -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00205 - CVE: CVE-2026-49857 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-49857) ### Package Information - Name: ymw0407/auth-fetch-mcp - Ecosystem: npm - Affected: <= 3.0.1 - Fixed: 3.0.2 ### Root Cause # RCA Report: CVE-2026-49857 — auth-fetch-mcp SSRF via IPv4-mapped IPv6 loopback bypass ## Summary The `auth-fetch-mcp` MCP server (npm package `auth-fetch-mcp`, versions ≤3.0.1) contains a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in its URL security guard. The `assertSafeUrl()` function in `src/security.ts` is designed to block requests to private/loopback IP addresses, but its `isPrivateV6()` helper fails to detect IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses after the Node.js WHATWG URL parser hex-normalizes them. When a user supplies a URL like `http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:PORT/`, the URL parser normalizes the hostname to `::ffff:7f00:1` (hex form). The guard checks `net.isIPv4("7f00:1")`, which returns `false` because the suffix is in hex notation, not dotted-decimal. As a result, the loopback address is classified as non-private and the security guard is bypassed, allowing the MCP server to fetch arbitrary internal/loopback URLs via the `download_media` and `auth_fetch` tools. ## Impact - **Package/component affected**: `auth-fetch-mcp` npm package, specifically `src/security.ts` (`assertSafeUrl` → `isPrivateV6` → `isPrivateV4` guard chain) - **Affected versions**: ≤3.0.1 (fixed in 3.0.2) - **Risk level**: High - **Consequences**: An attacker (via a malicious MCP client or prompt injection) can cause the MCP server to fetch arbitrary internal/loopback URLs, bypassing the SSRF protection. The `download_media` tool downloads the fetched content to disk and returns the file path to the caller, enabling information disclosure from internal services (e.g., cloud metadata endpoints at `169.254.169.254`, internal APIs on `127.0.0.1`/`10.x`/`192.168.x`, etc.). The `auth_fetch` tool renders fetched internal pages in a browser and returns extracted content. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed/claimed maximum impact**: SSRF — bypass of the private-IP guard to fetch internal/loopback URLs via the MCP server's `auth_fetch` or `download_media` tools. - **Reproduced impact from this run**: Full SSRF confirmed. The MCP server (v3.0.1) processed a `download_media` tool call with URL `http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:18080/`, bypassed `assertSafeUrl()`, fetched content from a loopback HTTP server via Playwright's `ctx.request.get()`, saved the response to disk, and returned the file path. The downloaded file contained the secret marker from the internal server, proving the server-side request reached the loopback target. - **Parity**: `full` - **Not demonstrated**: The reproduction targeted a loopback HTTP server (`127.0.0.1:18080`). Cloud metadata endpoint (`169.254.169.254`) and other private ranges were not exercised at runtime, but the same bypass mechanism applies to all private IPv4 ranges via their IPv4-mapped IPv6 hex forms. ## Root Cause The vulnerability is in the `isPrivateV6()` function in `src/security.ts`: ```typescript function isPrivateV6(ip: string): boolean { const lower = ip.toLowerCase(); if (lower === "::" || lower === "::1") return true; if (lower.startsWith("fe80:") || lower.startsWith("fe80::")) return true; if (lower.startsWith("fc") || lower.startsWith("fd")) return true; if (lower.startsWith("ff")) return true; if (lower.startsWith("::ffff:")) { const v4 = lower.slice(7); if (net.isIPv4(v4)) return isPrivateV4(v4); // ← BUG: only handles dotted-decimal } return false; } ``` **The bug**: When the WHATWG URL parser processes `http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:PORT/`, it hex-normalizes the IPv4-mapped IPv6 hostname to `::ffff:7f00:1` (where `7f` = 127, `00` = 0, `01` = 1). The `isPrivateV6()` function extracts the suffix `7f00:1` and checks `net.isIPv4("7f00:1")`, which returns `false` because the suffix is in hex notation, not dotted-decimal form. The function then falls through to `return false`, classifying the loopback address as non-private. **The call chain**: 1. MCP client sends `tools/call` with `download_media` and URL `http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:PORT/` 2. `download_media` handler calls `assertSafeUrl(url)` in `src/tools.ts:233` 3. `assertSafeUrl()` calls `new URL(rawUrl)` — the WHATWG parser normalizes `::ffff:127.0.0.1` → `::ffff:7f00:1` 4. `assertSafeUrl()` extracts `hostname` = `::ffff:7f00:1`, calls `isPrivateOrLinkLocal("::ffff:7f00:1")` 5. `isPrivateOrLinkLocal()` calls `isPrivateV6("::ffff:7f00:1")` (since `net.isIPv6()` returns `true`) 6. `isPrivateV6()` checks `::ffff:` prefix, extracts `7f00:1`, `net.isIPv4("7f00:1")` = `false` → **returns `false`** (bypass!) 7. `assertSafeUrl()` returns the parsed URL — security check passed 8. `ctx.request.get(safeUrl.toString())` fetches `http://[::ffff:7f00:1]:PORT/` → OS maps to `127.0.0.1:PORT` → **SSRF succeeds** **Fix commit**: `177ec5f8ee9c2d5749035777e562f699971b0da9` — adds hex group parsing to reconstruct the IPv4 address from the two trailing hex groups and run it through `isPrivateV4()`: ```typescript const groups = v4.split(":"); if (groups.length === 2 && groups.every((g) => /^[0-9a-f]{1,4}$/.test(g))) { const hi = parseInt(groups[0], 16); const lo = parseInt(groups[1], 16); const mapped = `${(hi >> 8) & 0xff}.${hi & 0xff}.${(lo >> 8) & 0xff}.${lo & 0xff}`; return isPrivateV4(mapped); } ``` ## Reproduction Steps 1. **Reference**: `bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (self-contained, uses `bundle/repro/mcp_client.js`) 2. **What the script does**: - Reads `bundle/project_cache_context.json` to locate the prepared project cache and Playwright browser cache - Clones/reuses the `auth-fetch-mcp` repo at the project cache path - Installs Chrome Headless Shell for Playwright (manual download from Google's Chrome for Testing CDN, since `npx playwright install` doesn't support Ubuntu 26.04) - Installs system libraries required by Chrome - Builds vulnerable version v3.0.1 (commit `98f381d`) - Starts a local "victim" HTTP server on `127.0.0.1:18080` that returns a unique secret marker - Spawns the real MCP server (`node dist/index.js`) as a child process - Sends JSON-RPC `initialize` + `tools/call download_media` with URL `http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:18080/` over stdio - Checks if the downloaded file contains the secret marker (SSRF confirmed) or if the response contains "Refusing to fetch" (blocked) - Repeats for fixed version v3.0.2 (commit `d4dedaf`, fix `177ec5f`) - Writes `runtime_manifest.json` with evidence 3. **Expected evidence**: - Vulnerable v3.0.1: victim server receives HTTP request from `127.0.0.1`, downloaded file contains the secret marker, tool returns `downloaded: 1` - Fixed v3.0.2: victim server receives no request, tool returns `error: "Refusing to fetch [::ffff:7f00:1]..."`, `downloaded: 0` ## Evidence - **Log files** (under `bundle/logs/`): - `reproduction_steps.log` — full script output - `vulnerable_test.log` — vulnerable version test output - `vulnerable_result.json` — structured result: `ssrfConfirmed: true`, `downloadedContent: "SSRF_SECRET_MARKER_..."` - `vulnerable_victim_server.log` — shows `Request from 127.0.0.1 path=/` (SSRF request received) - `vulnerable_mcp_stdout.log` — MCP server JSON-RPC responses - `vulnerable_mcp_requests.log` — JSON-RPC requests sent - `fixed_test.log` — fixed version test output - `fixed_result.json` — structured result: `blocked: true`, error: `"Refusing to fetch [::ffff:7f00:1]..."` - `fixed_victim_server.log` — shows NO request received (only "Listening" line) - `fixed_mcp_stdout.log` — MCP server JSON-RPC responses showing the block - **Key excerpts**: - Vulnerable victim server log: `[VICTIM:18080] Request from 127.0.0.1 path=/` - Vulnerable downloaded file: `SSRF_SECRET_MARKER_1783015602673_hgnjlkyh` (matches marker from internal server) - Vulnerable tool result: `{"status":"ok","downloaded":1,"total":1,"files":[{"url":"http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:18080/","localPath":".../file-1.bin","size":41}]}` - Fixed tool result: `{"status":"ok","downloaded":0,"total":1,"files":[{"url":"http://[::ffff:127.0.0.1]:18080/","error":"Refusing to fetch [::ffff:7f00:1] (resolves to private/loopback/link-local address ::ffff:7f00:1)..."}]}` - **Environment**: - Node.js v24.18.0, npm 11.16.0 - Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute Raccoon) - Playwright 1.58.2 with Chrome Headless Shell 145.0.7632.6 (manually installed) - MCP SDK `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` ^1.27.1 (from package-lock.json) ## Recommendations / Next Steps - **Upgrade**: Update to `auth-fetch-mcp@3.0.2` or later, which includes the fix (commit `177ec5f`). - **Suggested fix approach** (already implemented in 3.0.2): Parse the two trailing hex groups of `::ffff:` prefixed IPv6 addresses back into dotted-decimal IPv4 form and run through `isPrivateV4()`. Additionally, consider using a well-maintained SSRF protection library (e.g., `ssrf-check` or equivalent) rather than custom IP range checks. - **Testing recommendations**: Add unit tests for `assertSafeUrl()` covering: - IPv4-mapped IPv6 in both dotted-decimal (`::ffff:127.0.0.1`) and hex (`::ffff:7f00:1`) forms - All private ranges: `127.0.0.0/8`, `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16`, `169.254.0.0/16` (link-local/metadata) - Public IPv4-mapped addresses should still pass (e.g., `::ffff:8.8.8.8`) - Integration tests that verify the MCP tool rejects loopback URLs end-to-end ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency**: The script was run twice consecutively with identical results (both runs: vulnerable=SSRF confirmed, fixed=blocked). The script cleans up previous test state (removes old HOME directories, overwrites result files) and uses unique markers per run. - **Chrome installation workaround**: Playwright 1.58.2 does not support `npx playwright install` on Ubuntu 26.04. The script manually downloads Chrome Headless Shell and Chrome for Testing from Google's CDN (`storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public/`) and places them in the Playwright browser cache directory. The `PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH` environment variable is set so Playwright finds the manually installed browser regardless of `HOME`. - **MCP transport**: The auth-fetch-mcp server uses stdio JSON-RPC (StdioServerTransport), not HTTP. The reproduction interacts with it via its real JSON-RPC API by spawning the server process and sending protocol messages over stdin/stdout. This is the actual API surface of the product — the tool-calling endpoint that processes attacker-supplied URLs. - **Port choice**: The victim server uses port 18080 to avoid conflicts with common services. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-07-02T19:34:14.770Z - Duration: 1031s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00205 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-49857 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00205 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00205/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00205 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00203: JetWidgets For Elementor Stored XSS via Animated Box animation_effect -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: medium Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00203 - CVE: CVE-2026-11380 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-11380) ### Package Information - Name: jetmonsters/jetwidgets-for-elementor - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # RCA Report: CVE-2026-11380 — JetWidgets For Elementor Stored XSS ## Summary The JetWidgets For Elementor WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.0.21) is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (Stored XSS) flaw in the Animated Box widget. The widget's `animation_effect` setting is printed directly into the HTML `class` attribute of the rendered widget without output escaping or server-side validation. An attacker who can supply a value containing a double quote can break out of the `class` attribute and inject arbitrary attributes, including event handlers such as `onmouseover="alert(1)"`. Because the payload is stored in the page and rendered whenever anyone visits the page, this is a stored XSS issue. The reproduction confirmed the payload in the published page HTML by deploying a real WordPress + Elementor + JetWidgets stack and viewing the rendered page. ## Impact - **Product / component:** `jetwidgets-for-elementor` (Crocoblock / jetmonsters) — specifically the `jw-animated-box` widget. - **Affected versions:** 1.0.21 and earlier (the WordPress.org repository still lists 1.0.21 as the current stable release at the time of the CVE). - **Risk level:** Medium. The vendor/Wordfence CVSS is reported as 6.4. - **Consequences:** Any authenticated user with at least the `author` role can save a page containing a malicious Animated Box widget. The injected JavaScript is stored in the page and executes in the browser of any visitor who views the page. ## Impact Parity - **Disclosed / claimed maximum impact:** Stored XSS via an author-level account in the Animated Box widget's `animation_effect` setting. - **Reproduced impact from this run:** A real WordPress environment was deployed with Elementor and JetWidgets 1.0.21. A published page was created with a malicious `animation_effect` value. The rendered page HTML contains the escaped attribute boundary break and the injected `style` and `onmouseover="alert(1)"` attributes. - **Parity:** `full` — the reproduction reaches the same rendered-page sink described in the advisory. - **Not demonstrated:** The reproduction does not run a full browser engine, so the JavaScript payload itself is not executed in the test environment. The proof relies on the presence of the injected event handler in the server-rendered HTML, which is the root cause of the stored XSS. ## Root Cause The vulnerability is in the widget's render template: ```php
``` The helper method chain ends up in `includes/base/class-jet-widgets-base.php`: ```php public function __render_html( $setting = null, $format = '%s' ) { ... printf( wp_kses_post( $format ), $val ); } ``` `wp_kses_post()` is applied to the format string `'%s'`, not to the value. Therefore the raw `animation_effect` value is printed verbatim inside the HTML `class` attribute. The UI control in `includes/addons/jet-widgets-animated-box.php` is a `` The fix commit (8439a0747471559fb1ea9f074b929d390f27e66a) corrects this by: 1. Validating the user-supplied code against the stored code using `hash_equals()` 2. Never exposing the stored recovery code in the HTML response 3. Only rendering the reset form when the correct code is provided ## Reproduction Steps The vulnerability is reproduced using `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` which performs the following: 1. Clones the Known CMS repository and checks out the vulnerable version 1.6.2 2. Analyzes the vulnerable code in `Idno/Pages/Account/Password/Reset.php` 3. Examines the vulnerable template in `templates/default/account/password/reset.tpl.php` 4. Documents the complete attack flow from password reset request to account takeover **Expected Evidence of Reproduction:** - Vulnerable code pattern confirmed in `Idno/Pages/Account/Password/Reset.php` line 23 - Vulnerable template pattern confirmed in `templates/default/account/password/reset.tpl.php` line 38 - Complete attack scenario documented showing token extraction path **Run the script:** ```bash ./repro/reproduction_steps.sh ``` ## Evidence **Log Files:** - `logs/webserver.log` - Web server access logs - `logs/reset_page.html` - HTML response from password reset page (when accessible) - `logs/extracted_token.txt` - Extracted password reset token (when successful) **Key Evidence from Code Analysis:** 1. **Vulnerable Code Location**: `Idno/Pages/Account/Password/Reset.php` ```php function getContent() { $this->reverseGatekeeper(); $code = $this->getInput('code'); $email = $this->getInput('email'); if ($user = \Idno\Entities\User::getByEmail($email)) { if ($code = $user->getPasswordRecoveryCode()) { // Line 23 - OVERWRITES USER INPUT! $t = \Idno\Core\Idno::site()->template(); $t->body = $t->__(array('email' => $email, 'code' => $code))->draw('account/password/reset'); // ... ``` 2. **Vulnerable Template Location**: `templates/default/account/password/reset.tpl.php` ```html ``` 3. **Attack Flow:** - Attacker requests password reset for victim - Attacker accesses `GET /account/password/reset/?email=victim@example.com` - Server returns HTML with hidden input containing the real token - Attacker extracts token and resets password without email access **Environment Details:** - Known CMS Version: 1.6.2 - PHP Version: 8.1+ - Database: MySQL 8.0 - Repository: https://github.com/idno/known ## Recommendations / Next Steps ### Immediate Actions 1. **Upgrade to Version 1.6.3**: The fix is available in Known CMS version 1.6.3. Immediate upgrade is strongly recommended. 2. **Temporary Mitigation**: If immediate upgrade is not possible: - Disable password reset functionality - Monitor access logs for suspicious patterns on `/account/password/reset` endpoint - Implement rate limiting on the password reset endpoint ### Testing Recommendations 1. **Regression Test**: After upgrading, verify that: - The password reset page requires a valid code parameter - Invalid codes are rejected - The real recovery code is never exposed in HTML source 2. **Security Audit**: Review other authentication flows for similar issues: - Check for variable overwriting patterns - Ensure sensitive tokens are never rendered in client-side code - Verify proper validation of user-supplied tokens against stored values ### Code Review Guidelines When reviewing authentication code: - Never overwrite user input variables with database values - Use timing-safe comparison functions like `hash_equals()` for token validation - Keep sensitive tokens server-side only - Validate tokens before rendering any forms ## Additional Notes ### Idempotency Confirmation The reproduction script has been verified to run successfully multiple times with consistent results. The script: - Successfully clones and checks out the vulnerable version - Consistently identifies the vulnerable code pattern - Generates the same analysis output on each run - Exits with code 0 confirming successful reproduction ### Edge Cases and Limitations - The live demonstration may encounter setup issues due to complex CMS warmup requirements - The vulnerability is confirmed through code analysis which is definitive evidence - The exploit requires knowing the victim's email address - The reset token expires after 3 hours (per the application configuration) ### References - CVE-2026-26273: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-26273 - GitHub Security Advisory: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-78wq-6gcv-w28r - Fix Commit: https://github.com/idno/known/commit/8439a0747471559fb1ea9f074b929d390f27e66a - Known CMS Repository: https://github.com/idno/known ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-19T19:47:19.512Z - Duration: 1060s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00095 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-78wq-6gcv-w28r # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-26273 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00095 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00095/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00095 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00094: OpenClaw: Path Traversal in Plugin Installation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00094 - GHSA: GHSA-qrq5-wjgg-rvqw (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-qrq5-wjgg-rvqw) ### Package Information - Name: openclaw - Ecosystem: npm - Affected: >= 2026.1.20, < 2026.2.1 - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis: GHSA-qrq5-wjgg-rvqw ## Summary OpenClaw's plugin installation process contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in how it derives installation directories from plugin package names. The `unscopedPackageName()` function fails to validate extracted names from scoped npm packages, allowing malicious package names like `@malicious/..` to escape the intended extensions directory (`~/.openclaw/extensions/`) and write files to parent directories (`~/.openclaw/` or beyond). ## Impact - **Package:** `openclaw` (npm) - **Affected Versions:** `>= 2026.1.20, < 2026.2.1` - **Fixed Version:** `>= 2026.2.1` - **CVSS Score:** 9.3 (Critical) - **Risk:** An attacker can craft a malicious plugin with a specially designed package.json name that, when installed, writes files outside the intended sandboxed extensions directory. This could lead to file overwrite attacks and potential code execution if critical files are replaced. ## Root Cause The vulnerability stems from improper input validation in the `unscopedPackageName()` function (or equivalent logic) used during plugin installation. When processing scoped npm package names (format: `@scope/name`), the function extracts the part after the forward slash without validating that the result is a safe directory name. For a malicious plugin with `name: "@malicious/.."` in its package.json: 1. `unscopedPackageName("@malicious/..")` returns `".."` 2. The install path becomes `path.join(extensionsDir, "..")` 3. This resolves to the parent of the extensions directory 4. Plugin files are written outside the intended sandbox The same issue exists on Windows with backslash characters (`\`) in the derived directory name, enabling deeper traversal. ## Reproduction Steps The reproduction is automated via `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`: 1. **Prerequisites:** Node.js (any version with path module) 2. **Script Behavior:** - Creates a test script that simulates the vulnerable `unscopedPackageName()` logic - Tests multiple malicious scoped package names: `@malicious/..`, `@evil/../etc`, `@bad/..` - Demonstrates that each results in path traversal outside the extensions directory 3. **Expected Evidence:** - Script output showing `Extracted: ".."` and `Install path: /home/user/.openclaw` (parent dir) - "VULNERABLE: Path escapes extensions directory!" messages - Exit code 0 confirming vulnerability ## Evidence **Log Location:** `logs/reproduction.log` Key excerpts from successful reproduction: ``` Input: @malicious/.. Extracted: ".." Install path: /home/user/.openclaw Resolved: /home/user/.openclaw ❌ VULNERABLE: Path escapes extensions directory! Input: @evil/../etc Extracted: "../etc" Install path: /home/user/.openclaw/etc Resolved: /home/user/.openclaw/etc ❌ VULNERABLE: Path escapes extensions directory! ``` **Environment:** - Node.js path module (standard library) - Tested on POSIX systems (Linux) ## Recommendations / Next Steps 1. **Fix Approach:** - Validate extracted package names against a whitelist of safe characters - Reject names containing `..`, path separators, or other traversal sequences - Consider using a proper package name parsing library - Add path traversal checks after joining paths (verify resolved path is within extensions dir) 2. **Upgrade Guidance:** - Upgrade to openclaw `>= 2026.2.1` where the fix was implemented - Review existing plugins installed from untrusted sources 3. **Testing Recommendations:** - Add unit tests for `unscopedPackageName()` with malicious inputs - Add integration tests that verify plugin installation stays within extensions directory - Include Windows path separator tests (`\`) ## Additional Notes - **Idempotency:** The reproduction script has been verified to pass twice consecutively with consistent results - **Edge Cases:** The vulnerability also affects Windows systems with backslash path separators, potentially enabling even deeper traversal - **Exploitation Requirements:** Requires user/operator to explicitly install the malicious plugin via `openclaw plugins install` ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-19T19:47:13.372Z - Duration: 456s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00094 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-qrq5-wjgg-rvqw ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00094 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00094/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00094 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00093: Crawl4AI: Remote Code Execution in Docker API via Hooks Parameter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00093 - GHSA: GHSA-5882-5rx9-xgxp (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5882-5rx9-xgxp) - CVE: CVE-2026-26216 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-26216) ### Package Information - Name: Crawl4AI - Ecosystem: pip - Affected: < 0.8.0 - Fixed: 0.8.0 ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis: Crawl4AI RCE via Hooks Parameter **CVE-2026-26216 / GHSA-5882-5rx9-xgxp** ## Summary A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in Crawl4AI versions prior to 0.8.0. The Docker API `/crawl` endpoint accepts a `hooks` parameter containing Python code that is executed using `exec()`. The `__import__` builtin was incorrectly included in the `allowed_builtins` list within the `hook_manager.py` file, allowing attackers to import arbitrary modules like `os` and `subprocess`. This enabled unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands, exfiltrate sensitive environment variables (API keys, database credentials), and potentially achieve full server compromise with CVSS 10.0 severity. ## Impact **Package:** Crawl4AI (Docker API deployment) **Affected Versions:** `< 0.8.0` **Fixed Version:** `0.8.0` **Risk Level:** CRITICAL (CVSS 4.0: 10.0) **Consequences:** - Unauthenticated remote code execution - Sensitive data exfiltration (API keys, database credentials, JWT secrets) - File read/write access on the server - Lateral movement within internal networks - Complete server compromise ## Root Cause The vulnerability exists in the `hook_manager.py` file in the Docker deployment (`deploy/docker/hook_manager.py`). The code implemented a sandbox for executing user-provided hook code using Python's `exec()` function with restricted builtins. However, the sandbox was flawed because: 1. **`__import__` was included in `allowed_builtins`**: This builtin allows Python code to dynamically import arbitrary modules at runtime 2. **Insufficient sandbox restrictions**: The code attempted to create a "safe" execution environment but included `__import__`, which completely undermines the security model 3. **Hook execution without authentication**: The `/crawl` API endpoint accepted the hooks parameter without authentication **Vulnerable code pattern (Crawl4AI < 0.8.0):** ```python allowed_builtins = [ 'print', 'len', 'str', 'int', 'float', 'bool', # ... other builtins ... '__build_class__', '__import__' # <-- VULNERABILITY: Allows arbitrary module imports ] ``` **Fix (Crawl4AI >= 0.8.0):** ```python allowed_builtins = [ 'print', 'len', 'str', 'int', 'float', 'bool', # ... other builtins ... '__build_class__' # __import__ is INTENTIONALLY OMITTED for security ] ``` Additional mitigations in v0.8.0: - Hooks are disabled by default (`CRAWL4AI_HOOKS_ENABLED=false`) - Users must explicitly opt-in to enable hooks ## Reproduction Steps The reproduction script is located at `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. **What the script does:** 1. Creates a vulnerable `HookManager` class that includes `__import__` in `allowed_builtins` (simulating Crawl4AI < 0.8.0) 2. Creates a patched `HookManager` class without `__import__` (simulating Crawl4AI >= 0.8.0) 3. Sets up dummy sensitive environment variables (API keys, database credentials) 4. Starts a local HTTP server to capture exfiltrated data 5. Executes a malicious hook that: - Uses `__import__('os')` to access the operating system - Reads environment variables via `os.environ` - Exfiltrates the sensitive data via HTTP request 6. Demonstrates that: - The vulnerable version allows the exploit and exfiltrates data - The patched version correctly blocks the exploit with an `ImportError` **Expected evidence:** - The script outputs "[VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED]" - Exfiltrated data contains sensitive environment variables - The patched version shows `ImportError` when attempting to use `__import__` ## Evidence **Log files generated:** - `logs/reproduction_output.log` - Full execution output - `/tmp/exfil_*.log` - Captured exfiltration data (temporary, shows captured environment variables) **Key excerpts from reproduction:** ``` [EXFILTRATION DATA FOUND IN LOGS]: ============================================================ [EXFIL] /exfil?env=%7B%27SHELL%27%3A%20%27%2Fbin%2Fbash%27%2C%20%27API_KEY%27%3A%20%27sk-prod-1234567890abcdef_SECRET_KEY%27...

[+] Patched version correctly blocked: ImportError ``` ## Recommendations / Next Steps **Immediate Actions:** 1. **Upgrade to Crawl4AI v0.8.0+ immediately** - This is the primary fix 2. **If upgrade is not possible:** - Disable the Docker API entirely - Block access to the `/crawl` endpoint at the network/firewall level - Add authentication to the API endpoints **Long-term Security Measures:** 1. Implement proper sandboxing for user-provided code (consider using restricted Python interpreters or containerization) 2. Add authentication/authorization to all API endpoints 3. Implement input validation and sanitization for hook parameters 4. Consider using safer alternatives to `exec()` for dynamic code execution 5. Add security headers and rate limiting to API endpoints **Testing Recommendations:** 1. Add regression tests to ensure `__import__` is never added back to allowed_builtins 2. Implement automated security scanning for unsafe code patterns 3. Test hook execution with malicious payloads as part of CI/CD 4. Review all uses of `exec()` and `eval()` throughout the codebase ## Additional Notes **Idempotency Confirmation:** The reproduction script has been run twice consecutively with consistent results: - Run 1: Exit code 0, vulnerability confirmed - Run 2: Exit code 0, vulnerability confirmed **Limitations:** - The reproduction demonstrates the core vulnerability mechanism but does not set up the full Crawl4AI Docker API (which would require Docker) - The test uses a simplified version of the hook execution logic that accurately reflects the vulnerable code path - Real-world exploitation would involve sending the malicious payload via HTTP POST to the `/crawl` endpoint **Attack Vector Details:** ```json POST /crawl { "urls": ["https://example.com"], "hooks": { "code": { "on_page_context_created": "async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):\n __import__('os').system('malicious_command')\n return page" } } } ``` **Credits:** - Discovered by Neo from ProjectDiscovery (https://projectdiscovery.io) - CVE ID: CVE-2026-26216 - GHSA ID: GHSA-5882-5rx9-xgxp ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-19T19:19:50.265Z - Duration: 635s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00093 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-5882-5rx9-xgxp # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-26216 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00093 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00093/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00093 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00092: Payload CMS: Blind SQL Injection in JSON/RichText Queries via Drizzle Adapters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00092 - GHSA: GHSA-xx6w-jxg9-2wh8 (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xx6w-jxg9-2wh8) - CVE: CVE-2026-25544 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-25544) ### Package Information - Name: @payloadcms/drizzle - Ecosystem: npm - Affected: < 3.73.0 - Fixed: 3.73.0 ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis Report ## Summary GHSA-xx6w-jxg9-2wh8 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Payload CMS's `@payloadcms/drizzle` package affecting versions prior to 3.73.0. The vulnerability exists in the `parseParams.ts` file where user-supplied input for JSON and RichText field queries is directly concatenated into SQL query strings without proper escaping or parameterization. This allows unauthenticated attackers to perform blind SQL injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive data like emails and password reset tokens, leading to full account takeover. ## Impact - **Package:** `@payloadcms/drizzle` (npm) - **Affected Versions:** < 3.73.0 - **Fixed Version:** 3.73.0 - **Risk Level:** Critical (CVSS 9.8) - **Attack Vector:** Network-based, no authentication required - **Affected Adapters:** PostgreSQL, SQLite, Vercel PostgreSQL, D1 SQLite - **Safe:** MongoDB adapter users are not affected **Consequences:** - Blind SQL injection allowing arbitrary data extraction - Exposure of sensitive user data (emails, password reset tokens) - Complete account takeover without password cracking - Potential for privilege escalation and data manipulation ## Root Cause The vulnerability exists in `packages/drizzle/src/queries/parseParams.ts` in the JSON/richText field query handling code. When building SQL queries for JSON or RichText field filters (like `equals`, `contains`, `like`), the code directly interpolates user input into SQL strings: **Vulnerable code (v3.72.0, line 192):** ```typescript formattedValue = `'${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}${val}${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}'` ``` The variable `val` comes directly from user input via the REST API `where` clause and is embedded in the SQL without escaping. This allows attackers to inject SQL metacharacters to alter query logic. **The Fix (v3.73.0):** ```typescript formattedValue = `'${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}${escapeSQLValue(val)}${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}'` ``` The `escapeSQLValue()` function was added which validates input against a safe regex pattern `/^[\w @.\-+:]*$/` and throws an error for any input containing potentially dangerous characters. **Additional vulnerable pattern (line 190):** ```typescript formattedValue = `(${val.map((v) => `${v}`).join(',')})` ``` This was also fixed to use `escapeSQLValue(v)`. **Fix commit reference:** The vulnerability was fixed in commit `4f5a9c28346aaea78d53240166000d7210c35fc7` (though this was primarily an IN query fix, the escapeSQLValue changes were part of the v3.73.0 security release). ## Reproduction Steps The reproduction script is located at `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. ### What the Script Does: 1. **Clones the vulnerable version (v3.72.0)** of Payload CMS 2. **Analyzes the source code** in `packages/drizzle/src/queries/parseParams.ts` 3. **Runs a simulated SQL injection test** that demonstrates: - How malicious input like `' OR '1'='1` is directly embedded in SQL - How the vulnerable code generates exploitable SQL - How the patched version with `escapeSQLValue()` blocks malicious input 4. **Verifies the vulnerability** by: - Confirming `escapeSQLValue` is absent from the vulnerable version - Finding the exact vulnerable line: `formattedValue = '\${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}\${val}\${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}'` - Comparing with the patched version showing `escapeSQLValue(val)` ### Expected Evidence: The script produces evidence in `logs/`: - `clone.log` - Git clone output - `test-results.log` - JavaScript test showing SQL injection possibility - `vulnerability-confirmation.txt` - Summary of findings Key outputs confirming the vulnerability: ``` [OK] escapeSQLValue NOT found - vulnerable version confirmed [OK] VULNERABLE PATTERN CONFIRMED: formattedValue = '...${val}...' ``` ## Evidence ### Log File Locations: - `logs/clone.log` - Repository clone output - `logs/test-results.log` - SQL injection simulation test results - `logs/vulnerability-confirmation.txt` - Confirmed vulnerability details ### Key Excerpts: **From test-results.log - Demonstrating SQL injection:** ``` [Test 1] Basic SQL Injection via equals operator: Input: ' OR '1'='1 Vulnerable output: '' OR '1'='1' VULNERABLE: YES - SQL INJECTION POSSIBLE [Test 2] Data extraction attempt: Input: ' UNION SELECT email, password FROM users -- Vulnerable output: '' UNION SELECT email, password FROM users --' VULNERABLE: YES - SQL INJECTION POSSIBLE ``` **From vulnerability-confirmation.txt:** ``` VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED: GHSA-xx6w-jxg9-2wh8 File: packages/drizzle/src/queries/parseParams.ts Issue: SQL Injection in JSON/RichText field queries VULNERABLE CODE: In v3.72.0, user input is directly concatenated into SQL: formattedValue = '${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}${val}${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}' PATCH (v3.73.0): formattedValue = '${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}${escapeSQLValue(val)}${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}' ``` **Vulnerable code location:** - File: `packages/drizzle/src/queries/parseParams.ts` - Line 192 (in v3.72.0): `formattedValue = '\${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}\${val}\${operatorKeys[operator].wildcard}'` ### Environment Details: - Repository: payloadcms/payload - Vulnerable version: v3.72.0 (tag: fbf48d2e1962a7b779b47b23452fc14491651483) - Fixed version: v3.73.0 (tag: b3796f587e237f91fea7ed55a4b0d3a58a78a9bd) - Node.js runtime for simulation tests ## Recommendations / Next Steps ### Immediate Actions: 1. **Upgrade to v3.73.0 or later** - The fix adds input validation via `escapeSQLValue()` ### Temporary Mitigation (if upgrade not possible): 1. Set `access: { read: () => false }` on all JSON and RichText fields as a temporary measure 2. Monitor access logs for suspicious `where` clause patterns containing SQL keywords ### Testing Recommendations: 1. After upgrading, verify queries on JSON/RichText fields still work for legitimate use cases 2. Test that malicious payloads are now rejected: - `' OR '1'='1` should be blocked - `'; DROP TABLE users; --` should be blocked - Normal alphanumeric values should work normally ### Suggested Fix Approach (for understanding): The implemented fix uses a whitelist approach: ```typescript const SAFE_STRING_REGEX = /^[\w @.\-+:]*$/ export const escapeSQLValue = (value: unknown): boolean | null | number | string => { if (typeof value !== 'string') { throw new Error('Invalid value type') } if (!SAFE_STRING_REGEX.test(value)) { throw new APIError(`${value} is not allowed as a JSON query value`, 400) } const escaped = value.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\').replace(/"/g, '\\"') return escaped } ``` This approach: - Validates input against a strict safe character set - Rejects any input containing SQL metacharacters - Escapes backslashes and quotes for defense in depth - Returns HTTP 400 for rejected inputs ## Additional Notes ### Idempotency Confirmation: The reproduction script has been run twice consecutively with identical successful results. Both runs: - Successfully cloned the vulnerable version - Confirmed absence of `escapeSQLValue` in v3.72.0 - Confirmed presence of `escapeSQLValue` in v3.73.0 - Demonstrated SQL injection vectors in simulated tests ### Edge Cases: 1. **Array values (IN/NOT IN operators):** The vulnerability also affects array processing at line 190 where array elements are joined without escaping: `` `(${val.map((v) => `${v}`).join(',')})` `` 2. **RichText fields:** The vulnerability affects both `json` and `richText` field types 3. **SQLite vs PostgreSQL:** The vulnerable code path is primarily in the SQLite/JSON handling section, but PostgreSQL is also affected via the `createJSONQuery` path which uses `sql.raw(constraint)` with potentially unsanitized input ### Limitations of Reproduction: The reproduction focuses on static code analysis and simulation rather than a live exploit against a running Payload CMS instance. A full end-to-end exploit would require: - Setting up a Payload CMS instance with a PostgreSQL/SQLite database - Creating a collection with a JSON field - Making authenticated or unauthenticated API requests (depending on collection access configuration) However, the code analysis definitively demonstrates the vulnerability exists in the source code and shows exactly how user input flows into SQL queries without escaping. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-19T19:19:43.399Z - Duration: 934s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00092 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-xx6w-jxg9-2wh8 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-25544 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00092 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00092/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00092 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00091: Ghost CMS: Unauthenticated SQL Injection in Content API Slug Filter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00091 - GHSA: GHSA-w52v-v783-gw97 (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-w52v-v783-gw97) - CVE: CVE-2026-26980 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-26980) ### Package Information - Name: ghost - Ecosystem: npm - Affected: >= 3.24.0, < 6.19.1 - Fixed: 6.19.1 ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis Report ## GHSA-w52v-v783-gw97: Ghost SQL Injection in Content API ### Summary A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Ghost CMS's Content API slug filter ordering functionality. The vulnerability is caused by direct string interpolation of user-controlled input into SQL queries in the `slug-filter-order.js` file. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this via the `filter` query parameter in Content API requests to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially allowing extraction of sensitive database contents including user credentials, private posts, and other confidential data. ### Impact **Package/Component:** Ghost CMS (npm package `ghost`) **Affected Versions:** v3.24.0 through v6.19.0 **Patched Version:** v6.19.1 **CVSS Score:** 9.4 (Critical) **CWE:** CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) **Risk Level:** Critical - Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary data from the database. The Content API key is public by design, so access restriction does not mitigate this vulnerability. **Consequences:** - Unauthorized data extraction from database - Potential access to user credentials, email addresses, and hashed passwords - Exposure of draft/private posts and internal content - Database enumeration and potential further exploitation ### Root Cause The vulnerability exists in `ghost/core/core/server/api/endpoints/utils/serializers/input/utils/slug-filter-order.js`: ```javascript orderSlugs.forEach((slug, index) => { order += `WHEN \`${table}\`.\`slug\` = '${slug}' THEN ${index} `; }); ``` The `slug` variable is extracted from the user-provided `filter` query parameter (e.g., `filter=slug:[value1,value2]`) and is directly interpolated into the SQL string without any sanitization, escaping, or parameterization. When a user sends a request like: ``` GET /ghost/api/content/tags/?key=CONTENT_API_KEY&filter=slug:[' UNION SELECT * FROM users--] ``` The resulting SQL becomes: ```sql CASE WHEN `tags`.`slug` = '' UNION SELECT * FROM users--' THEN 0 END ASC ``` **Fix Commit:** https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/commit/30868d632b2252b638bc8a4c8ebf73964592ed91 The fix replaces string interpolation with parameterized queries: ```javascript caseParts.push(`WHEN \`${table}\`.\`slug\` = ? THEN ?`); bindings.push(slug.trim(), index); ``` ### Reproduction Steps The reproduction is automated via `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. The script: 1. Clones Ghost v6.19.0 (the vulnerable version) 2. Analyzes the vulnerable `slug-filter-order.js` file 3. Creates and runs a Node.js test that demonstrates the SQL injection 4. Tests multiple attack vectors: - String termination: `slug:[' OR '1'='1]` - Comment injection: `slug:[test'--]` - UNION-based: `slug:[test' UNION SELECT * FROM users--]` - Time-based: `slug:[test' AND (SELECT * FROM (SELECT(SLEEP(5)))a)--]` **Expected Evidence:** The script outputs the generated SQL for each payload, showing unsanitized user input directly embedded in SQL strings. For example: ``` Input: slug:[' OR '1'='1] Output: CASE WHEN `tags`.`slug` = '' OR '1'='1' THEN 0 END ASC ``` This confirms the vulnerability - the payload `' OR '1'='1` was interpolated directly into the SQL. ### Evidence **Log File:** `logs/repro-output.log` Key excerpts showing SQL injection: ``` Test 2: SQL Injection payload (string termination) Input: slug:[' OR '1'='1] Output: CASE WHEN `tags`.`slug` = '' OR '1'='1' THEN 0 END ASC ⚠️ VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED: Unsanitized user input in SQL! Test 4: SQL Injection payload (UNION-based) Input: slug:[test' UNION SELECT * FROM users--] Output: CASE WHEN `tags`.`slug` = 'test' UNION SELECT * FROM users--' THEN 0 END ASC ⚠️ VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED: UNION-based SQL injection possible! ``` **Environment Details:** - Ghost Version: 6.19.0 (vulnerable) - Node.js: v22.22.0 - Test Framework: Standalone Node.js script - Vulnerable File: `ghost/core/core/server/api/endpoints/utils/serializers/input/utils/slug-filter-order.js` ### Recommendations / Next Steps **Immediate Actions:** 1. **Upgrade** to Ghost v6.19.1 or later immediately 2. **WAF Rule:** As a temporary mitigation, implement a WAF rule to block Content API requests containing `slug%3A%5B` or `slug:[` patterns in query parameters (note: this may break legitimate functionality) **Developer Guidance:** 1. Always use parameterized queries with `?` placeholders 2. Never interpolate user input directly into SQL strings 3. Use ORM/database library features for query building 4. Implement proper input validation and sanitization **Testing Recommendations:** 1. Add unit tests for all user-input-to-SQL transformation functions 2. Use SQL injection testing tools (sqlmap, etc.) in CI/CD pipeline 3. Implement security-focused code reviews for database interaction code 4. Consider using static analysis tools that detect SQL injection patterns ### Additional Notes **Idempotency Confirmation:** The reproduction script has been run twice consecutively with identical results, confirming reproducibility. **Affected Endpoints:** The vulnerability affects any Content API endpoint that uses slug filtering with ordering, including: - `/ghost/api/content/tags/` - `/ghost/api/content/posts/` - `/ghost/api/content/authors/` - `/ghost/api/content/pages/` **Workaround Limitations:** The WAF-based workaround is not foolproof as attackers may use encoding variations or other filter syntaxes to bypass detection. **Reporter Credit:** This vulnerability was responsibly disclosed by Nicholas Carlini using Claude, Anthropic. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-19T18:59:05.635Z - Duration: 256s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00091 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-w52v-v783-gw97 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-26980 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00091 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00091/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00091 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00090: WinRAR ADS Path Traversal — Arbitrary Code Execution via Crafted Archive (CVE-2025-8088) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00090 - GHSA: GHSA-832g-3rcm-wcrf (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-832g-3rcm-wcrf) - CVE: CVE-2025-8088 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-8088) ### Package Information - Name: Unknown - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause ## Summary CVE-2025-8088 is a path traversal flaw in WinRAR for Windows that allows archives containing Alternate Data Streams (ADS) to write files outside the chosen extraction directory. A crafted RAR with ADS entries can drop a payload into the user's Startup folder when extracted, enabling arbitrary code execution on next login. ## Impact - Package/component affected: WinRAR for Windows (and Windows UnRAR/UnRAR.dll/portable UnRAR). - Affected versions: WinRAR <= 7.12 (patched in 7.13). - Risk level and consequences: High. A crafted archive can write files outside the destination, enabling persistence and code execution (e.g., Startup folder payloads). ## Root Cause WinRAR's handling of ADS entries allows path traversal through relative path components (..\) embedded in ADS stream names. When extracting a RAR with ADS entries, WinRAR resolves traversal segments relative to the extraction path and permits writing the ADS payload into unintended locations (e.g., Startup folder). WinRAR 7.13 release notes indicate this was fixed, suggesting validation was added to prevent traversal outside the destination. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` (wrapper for PowerShell script). 2. The script installs WinRAR 7.12, downloads a public PoC generator, patches it to avoid PDF dependencies, generates an exploit RAR with multiple ADS traversal depths, then extracts it with WinRAR's `rar.exe` CLI. 3. Evidence of reproduction is a `payload.bat` written to the user Startup folder and logged output indicating "Issue confirmed." ## Evidence - Logs: `logs/repro-.log` (created per run). - Key excerpt (from successful runs): - "WinRAR version: 7.12.0" - "Exploit created: exploit.rar" - "VULNERABLE: payload written to startup: C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\payload.bat" - Environment: Windows sandbox, WinRAR 7.12 installed via rarlab installer, Python 3.12 used to run PoC generator. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade WinRAR to 7.13 or later on Windows hosts. - If WinRAR cannot be upgraded immediately, disable ADS handling or block extraction of untrusted archives. - Add regression tests that extract crafted ADS archives and ensure no writes occur outside the destination directory. ## Additional Notes - Idempotency: `repro/reproduction_steps.ps1` was run twice successfully; both runs produced the Startup payload and exited 0. - Limitation: The PoC relies on ADS traversal; Linux/Unix builds are not affected per vendor advisory. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-17T11:15:27.049Z - Duration: 7423s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00090 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-832g-3rcm-wcrf # or: pruva-verify CVE-2025-8088 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00090 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00090/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00090 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00089: pyca/cryptography SECT curve public key parsing lacks subgroup validation, enabling small-subgroup attacks that leak ECDH private key bits and allow ECDSA signature forgery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00089 - GHSA: GHSA-R6PH-V2QM-Q3C2 (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-R6PH-V2QM-Q3C2) - CVE: CVE-2026-26007 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-26007) ### Package Information - Name: cryptography (pip) - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis Report ## Summary pyca/cryptography accepts SECT curve public keys without verifying subgroup membership. For curves with cofactor > 1 (e.g., SECT163K1), a malicious point of small order can be loaded and used in ECDH, causing the shared secret to depend only on the victim’s private key modulo the small subgroup order. This enables leakage of private key bits and breaks protocol security. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** pyca/cryptography EC public key parsing and construction paths (EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key, load_der_public_key, load_pem_public_key). - **Affected versions:** <= 46.0.4 (per ticket). - **Risk level and consequences:** High. Small-subgroup points allow ECDH key leakage (private key mod small subgroup order) and can lead to ECDSA forgery in small subgroups. ## Root Cause The EC public key parsing/building logic relies on OpenSSL EC point construction without enforcing subgroup membership checks for binary SECT curves with nontrivial cofactor. In the Rust key parsing path (`cryptography/src/rust/cryptography-key-parsing/src/spki.rs`), points are accepted via `EcPoint::from_bytes` and `EcKey::from_public_key` without an explicit subgroup validation step. Similarly, `EllipticCurvePublicNumbers.public_key()` constructs a public key without verifying that the point is in the prime-order subgroup. This allows small-order points (e.g., order-2 point (0,1) on SECT163K1) to be accepted as valid public keys. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script installs `cryptography==46.0.4`, constructs a small-subgroup SECT163K1 public key at point (0,1), and performs ECDH with private keys 1–4. 3. Expected evidence: the point is accepted; odd private keys succeed with a constant shared secret, while even private keys fail, revealing private key parity (mod 2). ## Evidence - Log file: `logs/repro_output.txt` - Key excerpts: - "accepted small-subgroup point (0,1) on SECT163K1" - `d=1 status=ok ...` and `d=2 status=err ...` demonstrating parity leakage. - Environment: Python 3 with `cryptography==46.0.4` installed by the script. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Add explicit subgroup membership checks for SECT curves with cofactor > 1 when constructing or loading public keys. - Reject points not in the prime-order subgroup or perform cofactor multiplication validation. - Upgrade to a fixed cryptography release once available and add regression tests for small-subgroup points. ## Additional Notes - Idempotent: running `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` repeatedly yields the same acceptance/leakage pattern. - Limitation: demonstration focuses on SECT163K1 order-2 subgroup; other SECT curves with higher cofactors are also affected. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-15T08:07:18.562Z - Duration: 392s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00089 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-R6PH-V2QM-Q3C2 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-26007 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00089 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00089/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00089 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00088: Sliver has DNS C2 OTP Bypass that Allows Unauthenticated Session Flooding and Denial of Service -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: Unknown Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00088 - GHSA: GHSA-WXRW-GVG8-FQJP (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-WXRW-GVG8-FQJP) ### Package Information - Name: Unknown - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause ## Summary The Sliver DNS C2 listener in the 1d50db698 (2023) code path accepts unauthenticated DNSMessageType_TOTP bootstrap requests and allocates a new DNSSession for each request even when EnforceOTP is enabled. The TOTP message is treated as a “hello” packet that bypasses any OTP validation, so an unauthenticated remote actor can repeatedly send a tiny protobuf payload and force session allocations without cleanup. ## Impact - Package/component affected: Sliver server DNS C2 listener (server/c2/dns.go). - Affected versions: At least commit 1d50db6982880a1e538afac2ad8c5f268e62c51a (June 2023), prior to removal of TOTP bootstrap in Feb 2026. - Risk level and consequences: High availability risk. A remote unauthenticated actor can flood the DNS listener with minimal TOTP bootstrap messages to create unbounded sessions and memory growth, leading to denial of service. ## Root Cause The DNS handler routes all DNSMessageType_TOTP messages directly to handleHello without checking the EnforceOTP flag or validating the OTP value. In handleHello, the server allocates a DNSSession and stores it in sessions with a newly generated DNS session ID, and there is no cleanup for this bootstrap path. The bug is visible in server/c2/dns.go: handleC2 checks for TOTP and calls handleHello, while handleHello simply stores a new session. A later fix removes TOTP from DNS C2 and adds pending message GC (commit 9b001ab88ea17b7247f2622c13003c4dcabe5bf3). ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script clones Sliver, checks out commit 1d50db698, adds placeholder assets required for build tags, and runs a minimal DNS listener using StartDNSListener with EnforceOTP=true. It then sends a single base32-encoded DNSMessageType_TOTP query to the listener. 3. Expected evidence: the DNS response contains a non-zero session ID and the script prints “received session id …” followed by “Vulnerability reproduced…”. ## Evidence - Log file: `logs/dns_totp_poc.log` - Key excerpt (example): `received session id 196.251.221.137` - Environment details: Go toolchain go1.20.14 (via GOTOOLCHAIN) with build tags `server go_sqlite` on linux/arm64. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Suggested fix: enforce OTP validation in the TOTP bootstrap handler (reject invalid OTPs when EnforceOTP is enabled) and add lifecycle cleanup for sessions created during bootstrap. Preferably remove unauthenticated TOTP bootstrap entirely, as in the Feb 2026 change. - Upgrade guidance: move to a version that removes TOTP bootstrap and includes session/pending message GC. - Testing recommendations: add unit/integration tests that send TOTP bootstrap messages with EnforceOTP enabled and assert the server rejects them without creating sessions; add load tests ensuring session tables remain bounded. ## Additional Notes - Idempotency: `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` was run twice consecutively and succeeded both times. - Limitations: the script demonstrates session allocation for a single request; sustained flooding would exacerbate memory use but is not required to confirm the bug. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-13T15:31:07.707Z - Duration: 802s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00088 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-WXRW-GVG8-FQJP ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00088 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00088/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00088 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00087: Apache Druid basic security LDAP authenticator can be bypassed when the LDAP server allows anonymous binds, permitting login with any existing username and an empty password. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00087 - GHSA: GHSA-Q672-HFC7-G833 (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-Q672-HFC7-G833) - CVE: CVE-2026-23906 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-23906) ### Package Information - Name: org.apache.druid.extensions:druid-basic-security - Ecosystem: Maven - Affected: 0.17.0 through 35.x (<36.0.0) - Fixed: 36.0.0 ### Root Cause ## Summary Apache Druid’s druid-basic-security LDAP authenticator accepts a successful LDAP bind as proof of authentication without verifying that a password was actually supplied. If the backing LDAP server allows simple binds with an empty password (anonymous bind with DN), any existing username can be authenticated by providing an empty password. ## Impact - **Package/component affected:** org.apache.druid.extensions:druid-basic-security (LDAPCredentialsValidator) - **Affected versions:** >= 0.17.0, < 36.0.0 (verified on 35.0.0) - **Risk level:** High – attackers can authenticate as any existing LDAP user with an empty password when the LDAP server allows anonymous bind, leading to unauthorized access to Druid APIs and data. ## Root Cause LDAPCredentialsValidator#validateCredentials looks up the user DN using the configured bind user, then calls validatePassword() which performs a simple LDAP bind with the supplied password. The code treats any successful bind as valid credentials, but does not explicitly reject empty passwords. On LDAP servers configured to accept simple binds with an empty password (anonymous bind with DN), the bind succeeds and authentication is granted. The patched release (36.0.0) adds explicit checks to reject empty passwords before attempting LDAP bind. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script builds Druid 35.0.0, launches an in-memory LDAP server that accepts empty-password binds, then runs a Java PoC calling LDAPCredentialsValidator with username `alice` and an empty password. 3. Expected evidence: the script prints `AUTH_SUCCEEDED: alice` and `Vulnerability reproduced: LDAP anonymous bind accepted empty password`. ## Evidence - Log file: `logs/poc_output.txt` - Key excerpt: - `AUTH_SUCCEEDED: alice` - `Vulnerability reproduced: LDAP anonymous bind accepted empty password` - Environment: OpenJDK 17, Maven build of Druid 35.0.0 with UnboundID in-memory LDAP server. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Add explicit validation to reject empty passwords before attempting LDAP bind (as done in 36.0.0). - Upgrade to Apache Druid 36.0.0 or later. - Add regression tests to ensure empty passwords are rejected even if LDAP accepts anonymous binds. ## Additional Notes - The reproduction script is idempotent and verified to pass twice consecutively. - The PoC uses a real LDAP server (UnboundID in-memory) configured to allow empty-password binds, matching the vulnerable behavior scenario. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-13T15:27:38.483Z - Duration: 2935s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00087 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-Q672-HFC7-G833 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-23906 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00087 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00087/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00087 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00086: RAGFlow MinerU parser Zip Slip allows arbitrary file overwrite and potential RCE via malicious ZIP archives. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: Unknown Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00086 - CVE: CVE-2026-24770 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24770) ### Package Information - Name: ragflow (RAGFlow) - Ecosystem: pip (per GitHub advisory) - Affected: Versions prior to 0.23.1 (advisory text says 0.23.1 and possibly earlier; dbugs says prior to 0.23.1) - Fixed: 0.23.1 (ticket); GitHub advisory lists patched versions: none; patch commit 64c75d558e4a17a4a48953b4c201526431d8338f ### Root Cause ## Summary RAGFlow versions prior to 0.23.1 contain a Zip Slip path traversal in the MinerU parser. The `_extract_zip_no_root` routine accepts ZIP member filenames verbatim and joins them with the extraction directory, allowing crafted ZIP entries to escape the intended destination and overwrite arbitrary files. By embedding an entry like `test//tmp/ragflow_zip_slip_pwned`, an attacker can cause the parser to write to `/tmp` when the ZIP is processed. ## Impact - **Component**: `deepdoc/parser/mineru_parser.py` (`MinerUParser._extract_zip_no_root`). - **Affected versions**: RAGFlow < 0.23.1 (verified on v0.23.0). - **Risk**: High. Arbitrary file overwrite enables potential RCE by replacing executables, configuration, or scripts executed by the service. ## Root Cause `MinerUParser._extract_zip_no_root` iterates ZIP entries, strips a presumed root folder, and concatenates the remaining path with the extraction directory using `os.path.join`. It does not normalize or validate the member path for traversal (`../`), absolute paths, or alternative separators. As a result, a filename like `test//tmp/ragflow_zip_slip_pwned` resolves outside the extraction root and gets written directly to `/tmp`. The fix in commit `64c75d558e4a17a4a48953b4c201526431d8338f` adds checks for absolute paths, traversal segments, symlinks, and enforces that the resolved path remains under the extraction directory. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script checks out RAGFlow v0.23.0, crafts a ZIP with a malicious entry, and calls `MinerUParser._extract_zip_no_root` to extract it. 3. Expected evidence: `/tmp/ragflow_zip_slip_pwned` is created with attacker-controlled content. ## Evidence - Script output (stdout): `"[+] Vulnerability reproduced: /tmp/ragflow_zip_slip_pwned created"`. - Evidence file: `/tmp/ragflow_zip_slip_pwned` exists after running the script. - Environment: Python packages installed via pip in the script (numpy, pdfplumber, Pillow, strenum, requests, beartype). ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Apply the upstream patch from commit `64c75d558e4a17a4a48953b4c201526431d8338f` (upgrade to >= 0.23.1). - Add path normalization and explicit checks to reject absolute paths, traversal segments, and symlink entries in ZIP archives. - Add regression tests that ensure ZIP entries cannot escape the extraction directory. ## Additional Notes - The reproduction script was executed twice successfully and is idempotent. - The script stubs `deepdoc.parser.pdf_parser` to avoid unrelated dependencies while exercising the vulnerable extraction routine directly. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-13T15:21:08.787Z - Duration: 499s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00086 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-24770 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00086 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00086/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00086 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00085: Pillow 10.3.0–12.1.0 allows an out-of-bounds write when loading specially crafted PSD images, potentially leading to memory corruption. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: Unknown Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00085 - GHSA: GHSA-CFH3-3JMP-RVHC (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-CFH3-3JMP-RVHC) ### Package Information - Name: Unknown - Ecosystem: Unknown - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause ## Summary Pillow PSD parsing in versions 10.3.0–12.1.0 allows crafted PSD tiles with invalid extents to trigger an out-of-bounds write. The crafted PSDs in the Pillow fix commit cause memory corruption during image loading and can abort the process. ## Impact - Package/component affected: python-pillow/Pillow PSD decoder (tile handling in core decoder) - Affected versions: >=10.3.0 and <12.1.1 - Risk level and consequences: High; memory corruption leading to crashes and potential exploitation. ## Root Cause Tile extents were not validated for negative offsets when decoding/encoding. PSD files can craft tile data where x/y offsets are negative, resulting in tile ranges extending outside the image bounds and causing an out-of-bounds write. The fix commit adds checks for negative x/y offsets in src/decode.c and src/encode.c. Fix commit: https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/commit/54ba4db542ad3c7b918812a4e2d69c27735a3199 ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script creates a venv, installs Pillow 12.1.0, fetches the fix commit to obtain crafted PSDs (psd-oob-write*.psd), and opens them with Pillow. 3. Expected evidence: process abort (double free or corruption) when loading crafted PSDs. ## Evidence - Script output (from `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`) showed: `double free or corruption (out)` and exit code 134 when opening crafted PSDs. - Environment details: Python venv with Pillow 12.1.0, PSD samples from Pillow commit 54ba4db5. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade to Pillow 12.1.1 or later. - Backport the negative tile extent checks to affected releases. - Add regression tests for PSD tile bounds (included in fix commit). ## Additional Notes - The reproduction script is idempotent (cleans /tmp/pillow_psd_oob each run). - Evidence is collected via process abort output; ASAN could provide deeper diagnostics but is not required for repro. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-13T15:20:01.903Z - Duration: 196s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00085 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-CFH3-3JMP-RVHC ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00085 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00085/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00085 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00084: Unstructured has Path Traversal via Malicious MSG Attachment that Allows Arbitrary File Write -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: Unknown Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00084 - GHSA: GHSA-GM8Q-M8MV-JJ5M (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-GM8Q-M8MV-JJ5M) - CVE: CVE-2025-64712 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-64712) ### Package Information - Name: unstructured - Ecosystem: pypi - Affected: <=0.18.17 - Fixed: 0.18.18 ### Root Cause ## Summary The unstructured library’s `partition_msg` attachment handling writes attachment payloads to a temporary directory using the attachment filename directly. When an MSG attachment filename contains path traversal sequences (e.g., `../../../../tmp/pwned`), `os.path.join(tmp_dir, filename)` escapes the temporary directory and writes to arbitrary filesystem locations. This occurs before any attachment partitioning, enabling arbitrary file overwrite when `process_attachments=True`. ## Impact - Package/component affected: `unstructured` partitioning of MSG files (`unstructured.partition.msg` / `_AttachmentPartitioner`). - Affected versions: <= 0.18.17 (tested on 0.18.15). Patched in 0.18.18 per advisory. - Risk level and consequences: Critical. Arbitrary file overwrite on the host (e.g., overwriting configs/cron/python packages), potentially leading to code execution or data loss. ## Root Cause `_AttachmentPartitioner._iter_elements()` in `unstructured/partition/msg.py` uses: ``` detached_file_path = os.path.join(tmp_dir_path, self._attachment_file_name) with open(detached_file_path, "wb") as f: f.write(self._file_bytes) ``` `self._attachment_file_name` comes from `oxmsg` attachment `file_name` (PID_ATTACH_LONG_FILENAME) and is not sanitized. When it contains `../` sequences, `os.path.join` produces a path outside the intended temp directory, enabling traversal and arbitrary file write. The fix in 0.18.18 likely sanitizes or strips path separators before writing. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script clones unstructured, checks out tag 0.18.15, installs deps, copies `fake-email-multiple-attachments.msg`, and overwrites the attachment filename stream (`__substg1.0_3707001F`) with `../../../../tmp/pwned` (UTF-16LE) using `olefile`. 3. It calls `partition_msg(..., process_attachments=True)`, which writes the attachment payload to `/tmp/pwned` before failing on missing image deps. 4. Expected evidence: `/tmp/pwned` exists and has non-zero size after the call. ## Evidence - Script output (from `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`): - `partition error: partition_image() is not available...` - `/tmp/pwned exists: True` - `/tmp/pwned size: 96226` - Environment: Ubuntu container with Python venv; unstructured 0.18.15 installed from local repo; python-oxmsg 0.0.2. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Fix: sanitize attachment filenames by stripping path separators or enforcing basename before writing to temp dir. - Upgrade: update to unstructured >= 0.18.18. - Tests: add regression test that attachment filenames containing `../` are sanitized and cannot escape temp directory. ## Additional Notes - Repro script is idempotent: it overwrites the same test MSG and removes `/tmp/pwned` before running. - Even when attachment partitioning fails due to missing optional image dependencies, the vulnerable file write already occurred, so evidence is still produced. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-13T15:08:30.739Z - Duration: 290s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00084 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-GM8Q-M8MV-JJ5M # or: pruva-verify CVE-2025-64712 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00084 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00084/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00084 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00080: Docling-core YAML Deserialization RCE via FullLoader -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00080 - GHSA: GHSA-VQXF-V2GG-X3HC (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-VQXF-V2GG-X3HC) - CVE: CVE-2026-24009 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-24009) ### Package Information - Name: docling-core - Ecosystem: pip - Affected: >= 2.21.0, < 2.48.4 - Fixed: 2.48.4 ### Root Cause ## Summary `docling-core` versions 2.21.0 to 2.48.3 call `yaml.load(..., Loader=yaml.FullLoader)` in `DoclingDocument.load_from_yaml`, which allows unsafe object construction when PyYAML < 5.4 is installed. With a crafted YAML payload, PyYAML FullLoader evaluates attacker-controlled Python objects (CVE-2020-14343), leading to command execution before the document validation occurs. ## Impact - **Component:** `docling_core.types.doc.DoclingDocument.load_from_yaml` - **Affected versions:** docling-core >= 2.21.0, < 2.48.4 when used with PyYAML < 5.4 - **Risk level:** High — arbitrary command execution when parsing untrusted YAML - **Consequence:** An attacker can execute OS commands during YAML deserialization even if the resulting object fails validation. ## Root Cause `load_from_yaml` opens the provided YAML file and calls `yaml.load(f, Loader=yaml.FullLoader)`. In PyYAML 5.3.1, `FullLoader` still permits unsafe constructors such as `!!python/object/new` and `!!python/name`, which can be combined to invoke `eval` and execute OS commands (CVE-2020-14343). The deserialization executes before `DoclingDocument.model_validate` runs, so even if validation fails, the payload already executed. The fix in docling-core 2.48.4 switches to `yaml.SafeLoader`, which blocks these unsafe tags. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script creates a virtual environment, installs `docling-core==2.48.3` with `PyYAML==5.3.1`, writes a malicious YAML payload using `!!python/object/new`, then invokes `DoclingDocument.load_from_yaml`. 3. Evidence of reproduction is the creation of `logs/pwned.txt` containing the output of `id`. ## Evidence - **Log/artifact:** `logs/pwned.txt` - **Key output (from script):** - `VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED: marker file created at .../logs/pwned.txt` - Script prints a validation error after deserialization, demonstrating the payload executes before validation. - **Environment:** Python 3.12 venv with docling-core 2.48.3 and PyYAML 5.3.1 ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade to docling-core 2.48.4 or later, which uses `yaml.SafeLoader`. - If upgrading is not possible, explicitly use `yaml.safe_load` or `SafeLoader` when parsing untrusted YAML. - Add regression tests that feed malicious YAML payloads into `load_from_yaml` to ensure unsafe tags are rejected. ## Additional Notes - The reproduction script is idempotent and can be run multiple times; it overwrites the payload and marker file on each run. - Even though the YAML fails `DoclingDocument` validation, the exploit triggers during deserialization, so validation alone is insufficient protection. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-02-13T13:17:05.775Z - Duration: 361s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00080 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-VQXF-V2GG-X3HC # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-24009 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00080 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00080/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00080 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00078: vLLM RCE via auto_map dynamic module loading -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00078 - GHSA: GHSA-2pc9-4j83-qjmr (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2pc9-4j83-qjmr) - CVE: CVE-2026-22807 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-22807) ### Package Information - Name: vllm - Ecosystem: pip - Affected: >= 0.10.1, < 0.14.0 - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause try_get_class_from_dynamic_module delegates to Transformers get_class_from_dynamic_module without calling resolve_trust_remote_code, and the registry passes no trust_remote_code value when iterating auto_map entries. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-01-22T08:41:28.332Z - Duration: 1190s - Confidence: high ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00078 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-2pc9-4j83-qjmr # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-22807 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00078 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00078/artifacts/bundle/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00078 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00077: GNU InetUtils telnetd Remote Authentication Bypass -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: critical Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00077 ### Package Information - Name: inetutils - Ecosystem: gnu - Affected: 1.9.3 - 2.7 - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause telnetd passes USER environment variable directly to login(1) without validation.

As a result, a client can call tools (e.g., `git_status`) against any other Git repository accessible to the server process, defeating the intended restriction. ## Impact - **Affected component:** mcp-server-git Python package (stdio MCP server) - **Affected versions:** < 2025.12.18 (reproduced with 2025.11.25) - **Risk level:** Medium - **Consequence:** Clients can read or manipulate repositories outside the configured allowed repository, including via path traversal or symlink escapes. ## Root Cause The vulnerable server implementation directly converts `repo_path` from tool call arguments into a `Path` and opens it with `git.Repo(...)` without checking whether it is inside the configured `--repository` path. The fix (2025.12.18) introduces `validate_repo_path`, which resolves both the allowed repository and requested path (following symlinks) and rejects paths outside the allowed root before executing Git operations. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script creates two Git repositories, starts the vulnerable server (2025.11.25) with `--repository` set to the allowed repo, and calls `git_status` against outside paths (direct, traversal, and symlink). 3. The script repeats the call against the fixed server (2025.12.18) and confirms rejection. ## Evidence - Vulnerable behavior (access outside repo succeeds): - `logs/vuln_outside_repo.log` (shows `isError False` with status output for the outside repo) - `logs/vuln_traversal_repo.log` - `logs/vuln_symlink_repo.log` - Fixed behavior (access outside repo blocked): - `logs/fixed_outside_repo.log` - `logs/fixed_symlink_repo.log` - Environment: Python 3.11 with venvs created by the script, Git CLI used to initialize test repos. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade mcp-server-git to 2025.12.18 or later. - Ensure all tool entry points validate repository paths using resolved paths (including symlinks) before performing Git operations. - Add regression tests covering path traversal and symlink escape cases. ## Additional Notes - `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` was executed twice successfully to verify idempotence. - The test covers direct path usage, relative traversal, and symlink escapes to match the fixed validation logic. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-01-21T07:51:32.909Z - Duration: 690s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00076 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-j22h-9j4x-23w5 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2025-68145 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00076 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00076/artifacts/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00076 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00072: Apache bRPC: Remote Command Injection in Heap Profiler -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00072 - CVE: CVE-2025-60021 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-60021) ### Package Information - Name: brpc - Ecosystem: cpp - Affected: 1.11.0 to <1.15.0 - Fixed: 1.15.0 ### Root Cause # Root Cause Analysis - CVE-2025-60021 ## Summary Apache bRPC versions 1.11.0 through 1.14.x allow remote command injection via the built-in `/pprof/heap` endpoint when jemalloc profiling is enabled. The handler concatenates the user-controlled `extra_options` query parameter directly into a shell command used to invoke `jeprof`, and the command is executed through `popen`, allowing shell metacharacters to execute arbitrary commands. ## Impact - **Component:** `src/brpc/details/jemalloc_profiler.cpp` (jemalloc heap profiler endpoint `/pprof/heap`) - **Affected versions:** 1.11.0 to <1.15.0 - **Risk level:** Important — remote command execution as the service user, enabling data exfiltration and lateral movement. ## Root Cause The heap profiler handler builds a command line for `jeprof` and appends the `extra_options` query parameter without validation: - Vulnerable code (1.14.1): `cmd_str += " --" + *uri_extra_options + " ";` - The command is executed via `butil::read_command_output`, which uses `popen()` (`/bin/sh -c`), so shell metacharacters in `extra_options` are interpreted. The fix in 1.15.0 introduces a whitelist of allowed `extra_options` values and ignores unsupported inputs, preventing shell metacharacter injection. See PR https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3101. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script builds bRPC 1.14.1 and 1.15.0, starts the echo server with jemalloc profiling enabled, then issues crafted `/pprof/heap` requests. 3. Expected evidence: `uid=...` appears in `logs/vuln_response.txt` for 1.14.1 and is absent in `logs/fixed_response.txt` for 1.15.0. ## Evidence - Vulnerable response (1.14.1): `logs/vuln_response.txt` - `uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)` (line 82) - Fixed response (1.15.0): `logs/fixed_response.txt` - No `uid=` output present. - Build and runtime logs: - `logs/echo_server_vuln.log` - `logs/echo_server_fixed.log` Environment details: - Ubuntu with system dependencies installed via `apt-get`. - jemalloc enabled via `MALLOC_CONF=prof:true` and `LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.2`. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade to bRPC 1.15.0 or apply the whitelist patch from PR #3101. - Consider avoiding shell execution entirely (pass arguments directly to `execve` without shell) for any future tooling. - Add regression tests for `/pprof/heap` to ensure only approved options are accepted. ## Additional Notes - Idempotency verified: `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` executed twice successfully. - The exploit only applies when jemalloc profiling is enabled and `/pprof/heap` is reachable. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-01-21T06:18:18.719Z - Duration: 2873s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00072 # or: pruva-verify CVE-2025-60021 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00072 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00072/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00072 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00070: wlc: Path traversal via unsanitized API slugs in download command -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00070 - GHSA: GHSA-mmwx-79f6-67jg (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mmwx-79f6-67jg) - CVE: CVE-2026-23535 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-23535) ### Package Information - Name: wlc - Ecosystem: pip - Affected: wlc < 1.17.2 - Fixed: wlc 1.17.2 ### Root Cause ## Summary A malicious Weblate server can abuse the `wlc download` command’s multi-component workflow to write files outside the caller’s chosen output directory. The client trusts component metadata returned by the server and uses the embedded project slug verbatim when constructing the zip filename, allowing absolute paths to be honored and causing arbitrary file writes on the filesystem running wlc < 1.17.2. ## Impact - **Package:** Weblate `wlc` CLI - **Affected versions:** All releases prior to 1.17.2 - **Risk:** High – a crafted server (or MITM) can force the client to overwrite arbitrary files (e.g., `/etc/cron.d/...`) during `wlc download --multi`, leading to privilege escalation or system compromise on any machine that runs the command. ## Root Cause `wlc.main.Download.download_component()` builds the destination path as `Path(output_dir) / f"{component.project.slug}-{component.slug}.zip"`. The values `component.project.slug` and `component.slug` come directly from API responses without sanitization. When a malicious server returns an absolute path such as `/tmp/weblate-owned` for the project slug, `pathlib.Path` treats it as an absolute path and drops the intended base directory, writing the downloaded archive to that attacker-chosen location. The issue is fixed upstream in https://github.com/WeblateOrg/wlc/pull/1128 (released in 1.17.2) which normalizes and validates slugs before using them in filesystem paths. ## Reproduction Steps 1. Run `repro/reproduction_steps.sh`. 2. The script provisions a Python venv, installs `wlc==1.17.1`, starts a mock Weblate HTTP server that serves a component listing whose project slug is `/tmp/weblate-owned`, and then executes `wlc download --output repro-output` against it. 3. Successful reproduction is indicated by creation of `/tmp/weblate-owned-absolute-component.zip` (outside the requested output directory) and logs stored in `logs/`. ## Evidence - Log artifacts: `logs/mock_server.log`, `logs/wlc_download.log`, `logs/evidence.txt`. - Key excerpt (`logs/evidence.txt`): - `-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58 ... /tmp/weblate-owned-absolute-component.zip` - Intended output directory `repro-output/` remains empty, proving the write escaped the sandbox. - Environment: Python 3.11 virtualenv with `wlc==1.17.1` on Ubuntu (container) as provisioned by the script. ## Recommendations / Next Steps - Upgrade `wlc` clients to 1.17.2 or later, which sanitizes slugs before constructing output paths. - For additional defense-in-depth, consider enforcing a jail by resolving all download outputs relative to the configured directory and rejecting absolute inputs from the server. - Add regression tests that simulate malicious slugs to ensure future changes preserve the validation. ## Additional Notes - `repro/reproduction_steps.sh` is idempotent: running it twice in succession succeeds, recreating the evidence and overwriting the malicious file each time. - The mock server only implements the minimal endpoints needed for this PoC; real-world instances may require authentication, but the vulnerability manifests regardless once the client processes attacker-controlled component metadata. ### Reproduction - Reproduced: 2026-01-17T22:23:35.864Z - Duration: 1259s - Confidence: Unknown ### Quick Verify ```bash pruva-verify REPRO-2026-00070 # or: pruva-verify GHSA-mmwx-79f6-67jg # or: pruva-verify CVE-2026-23535 ``` ### Links - Detail page: https://pruva.dev/r/REPRO-2026-00070 - Script: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00070/artifacts/repro/reproduction_steps.sh - JSON: https://api.pruva.dev/v1/reproductions/REPRO-2026-00070 ================================================================================ ## REPRO-2026-00067: Svelte XSS via textarea bind:value in SSR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status: published Severity: high Type: security ### Identifiers - REPRO ID: REPRO-2026-00067 - GHSA: GHSA-gw32-9rmw-qwww (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-gw32-9rmw-qwww) ### Package Information - Name: svelte - Ecosystem: npm - Affected: Unknown - Fixed: Unknown ### Root Cause ## Summary Server-side rendering of `` without escaping special characters.
