Spreecommerce versions prior to 0.50.x contain a remote command execution vulnerability in the API’s search functionality. Improper input sanitation allows attackers to inject arbitrary shell commands via the search[instance_eval] parameter, which is dynamically invoked using Ruby’s send method. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to execute commands on the server.
Details
| Severity | Base Score | CVE |
|---|---|---|
| CRITICAL | 9.3 | CVE-2011-10026 |
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker can send a specially crafted request to the API’s search functionality, injecting arbitrary shell commands through the search[instance_eval] parameter. This can be done remotely without any authentication, allowing the attacker to execute commands on the server.
Affected Products
- Spreecommerce versions prior to 0.50.x: Vulnerable to remote command execution due to improper input sanitation in the API’s search functionality.
Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to upgrade to Spreecommerce version 0.50.x or later, where the input sanitation issues have been addressed. Additionally, implementing strict input validation and sanitization practices can help prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future.
