Vulnerability in de.tum.in.ase:artemis-java-test-sandbox (CVE-2024-23681)
Summary
Vulnerability in de.tum.in.ase:artemis-java-test-sandbox (CVE-2024-23681). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 1.11.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
Because of the missing checkLink(String) override in the SecurityManager, students can load libraries and execute arbitrary code.
Details
Using System.load(String) or System.loadLibrary(String) students can load and execute arbitrary code.
private static native void start(List args);
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.load(new File("path_to_lib.so").getAbsolutePath());
start(List.of(args));
}
Adding this to the security manager (and a translation) should fix the issue:
@Override
public void checkExec(String cmd) {
try {
if (enterPublicInterface())
return;
throw new SecurityException(localized("security.error_link")); //$NON-NLS-1$
} finally {
exitPublicInterface();
}
}
PoC
See details.
Impact
Arbitrary code execution.
