OWASPA03:2021 - Injection
Confidence LevelLow
Impact LevelHigh
Likelihood LevelLow

Description

Untrusted user input is being passed directly into the ‘sandbox’ context of vm2 or NodeVM. This allows users to control the execution environment, which can lead to code injection vulnerabilities.

Impact

An attacker could manipulate the sandbox environment to execute arbitrary code, potentially escaping the sandbox, accessing sensitive data, or taking control of the server. This puts your application and its users at serious risk of data breaches or server compromise.

Description

Using thenify with the multiArgs option enabled can create situations where untrusted input is passed to eval, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code. This happens when callbacks or arguments are not properly controlled or sanitized.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could run malicious code on your server, potentially stealing data, compromising user accounts, or taking control of the system. This can lead to full application compromise, data breaches, and significant damage to your organization.

Description

Exposing Puppeteer’s remote debugging interface without proper authentication allows anyone on the network to connect and control the browser. This can lead to unauthorized access and manipulation of browser sessions.

Impact

An attacker could execute arbitrary code, steal sensitive data, or compromise the system running Puppeteer by exploiting the open debugging interface. This puts both application data and user privacy at significant risk.

Description

Disabling server certificate verification by setting ‘rejectUnauthorized: false’ in Sequelize’s TLS options makes the database connection vulnerable to attackers impersonating the server. This bypasses SSL security and exposes sensitive data in transit.

Impact

An attacker could perform a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, intercepting or altering data sent between your Node.js app and the database. This could lead to data theft, manipulation, or unauthorized access to sensitive information, compromising the security of your application and its users.

Description

Exposing Playwright’s remote debugging interface without authentication allows anyone on the network to connect and control browser sessions. This creates a risk where unauthorized users could access or manipulate your automated browser processes.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary code, steal sensitive data, or manipulate browser actions, potentially leading to data breaches or system compromise. This can undermine the security and integrity of your application and expose internal resources.

Description

Using backticks in PHP executes the enclosed string as a shell command. If user input is included in this string, it can allow attackers to run arbitrary commands on your server.

Impact

Exploiting this vulnerability could let attackers execute malicious system commands, potentially leading to data theft, server compromise, or a complete takeover of the application environment.

Description

Using mb_ereg_replace with user-controlled input in the options parameter is dangerous because the ’e’ (eval) modifier can cause PHP to execute arbitrary code from the replacement string. This allows attackers to run malicious commands if they control the input.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary PHP code on your server, leading to data theft, server compromise, or a complete takeover of your application. This puts sensitive data and system integrity at significant risk.

Description

The code executes system commands using functions like exec(), system(), or shell_exec() with input that isn’t a fixed string. This means user-controlled data could be passed directly to the command line, leading to insecure execution.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on the server, potentially gaining full control, accessing sensitive data, or disrupting system operations. This could lead to data breaches, server compromise, or service outages.

Description

User-supplied data from request variables is passed directly to PHP functions that execute system commands without proper sanitization. This allows attackers to inject and run arbitrary commands on the server.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could execute malicious commands, access or modify sensitive data, disrupt server operations, or gain full control over the affected system. This can lead to data breaches, service outages, and severe compromise of the application’s integrity and security.

Description

The application allows user input to directly define or control which callable functions are executed. This means attackers can influence which code runs, leading to unsafe and unpredictable behavior.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, potentially taking full control of the application, accessing sensitive data, or compromising the server. This can lead to data breaches, service disruption, or further attacks against your infrastructure.
