Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Github.com/nrkno/terraform provider windns, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Impact: A security issue has been found in `terraform-provider-windns` before version `1.0.5`. The `windns_record` resource did not santize the input variables. This can lead to authenticated command injection in the underlyding powershell command prompt. ## Patches: [`83ef736 (fix: better input validation)`](https://github.com/nrkno/terraform-provider-windns/commit/c76f69610c1b502f90aaed8c4f102194530b5bce) ## Fixed versions: - `v1.0.5`
