Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

  • Vulnerable module: setuptools
  • Introduced through: setuptools@68.0.0

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: TheGroundZero/openvasreporting@TheGroundZero/openvasreporting#609cb91263aa5bcf1f02afc10ecc0e1b7d85c62d › setuptools@68.0.0
    Remediation: Upgrade to setuptools@70.0.0.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') through the package_index module's download functions due to the unsafe usage of os.system. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the system by providing malicious URLs or manipulating the URLs retrieved from package index servers.

Note

Because easy_install and package_index are deprecated, the exploitation surface is reduced, but it's conceivable through social engineering or minor compromise to a package index could grant remote access.

Remediation

Upgrade setuptools to version 70.0.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop where an attacker can cause the application to stop responding by initiating a loop through functions affecting the Path module, such as joinpath, the overloaded division operator, and iterdir.

Details

Denial of Service (DoS) describes a family of attacks, all aimed at making a system inaccessible to its intended and legitimate users.

Unlike other vulnerabilities, DoS attacks usually do not aim at breaching security. Rather, they are focused on making websites and services unavailable to genuine users resulting in downtime.

One popular Denial of Service vulnerability is DDoS (a Distributed Denial of Service), an attack that attempts to clog network pipes to the system by generating a large volume of traffic from many machines.

When it comes to open source libraries, DoS vulnerabilities allow attackers to trigger such a crash or crippling of the service by using a flaw either in the application code or from the use of open source libraries.

Two common types of DoS vulnerabilities:

  • High CPU/Memory Consumption- An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to take a disproportionate amount of time to process. For example, commons-fileupload:commons-fileupload.

  • Crash - An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to crash. For Example, npm ws package

Remediation

Upgrade zipp to version 3.19.1 or higher.
