Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. In Github.com/sipeed/picoclaw, 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

A vulnerability was detected in PicoClaw up to 0.2.4. Impacted is an unknown function of the file /api/gateway/restart of the component Web Launcher Management Plane. Performing a manipulation results in command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
