CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The DIRAC framework is vulnerable due to improper handling of user-controlled input in the RequestManagementSystem, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary Python code and potentially gain access to sensitive configuration files, database credentials, and other critical data. This critical vulnerability poses a significant risk of full system compromise and manipulation of log evidence. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize immediate updates to versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, or 9.1.10 to mitigate this threat.

Original NVD Description

DIRAC is an interware, meaning a software framework for distributed computing. Prior to versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10, the RequestManagementSystem/Service/ReqManagerHandler.py export_getRequestCountersWeb function passes an authenticated caller-controlled groupingAttribute to RequestManagementSystem/DB/RequestDB.py getRequestCountersWeb. An unrecognized value is resolved against the Request object and evaluated as Python code, allowing a crafted dunder attribute expression to reach operating-system functions and execute commands as the account running the DIRAC services. Successful exploitation can expose dirac.cfg, database passwords, stored proxies, and tokens, fully compromise the DIRAC system, and allow alteration of local log evidence. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10.
