CVE-2024-2359Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command in parisneo/lollms-webui
Critical 9.8
In plain English
A critical-severity OS command injection in parisneo/lollms-webui from parisneo. Proof-of-concept exploit code is public. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.2% (higher than 69% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
A vulnerability in the parisneo/lollms-webui version 9.3 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute arbitrary code. The issue arises from the application's handling of the `/execute_code` endpoint, which is intended to be blocked from external access by default. However, attackers can exploit the `/update_setting` endpoint, which lacks proper access control, to modify the `host` configuration at runtime. By changing the `host` setting to an attacker-controlled value, the restriction on the `/execute_code` endpoint can be bypassed, leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (`Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command`).
