Headline
GHSA-mm6v-68qp-f9fw: Crayfish allows Remote Code Execution via Homarus Authorization header
Impact
What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?
Remote code execution may be possible in web-accessible installations of Homarus in certain configurations.
Patches
Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?
The issue has been patched in islandora/crayfish:4.1.0
Workarounds
Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?
The exploit requires making a request against the Homarus’s /convert
endpoint; therefore, the ability to exploit is much reduced if the microservice is not directly accessible from the Internet, so: Prevent general access from the Internet from hitting Homarus.
Configure auth in Crayfish to be more strongly required, such that requests with Authorization
headers that do not validate are rejected before the problematic CLI interpolation occurs.
