How to Fix CVE-2023-43803

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/arduino/arduino create agent dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent fixed: 1.3.3 
Upgrade github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent to 1.3.3
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2023-43803, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/arduino/arduino create agent:

inspect dependencies for github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/arduino/arduino create agent in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.3), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-35: Path Traversal: '.../...//', where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '.../...//' (doubled triple dot slash) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Github.com/arduino/arduino create agent, 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 The vulnerability affects the endpoint `/v2/pkgs/tools/installed` and the way it handles plugin names supplied as user input. A user who has the ability to perform HTTP requests to the localhost interface, or is able to bypass the CORS configuration, can delete arbitrary files or folders belonging to the user that runs the Arduino Create Agent via a crafted HTTP POST request. Further details are available in the references. ### Fixed Version * `1.3.3` ### References The issue was reported by Nozomi Networks Labs. Further details on the issue are available at the following URL: * https://www.nozominetworks.com/blog/security-flaws-affect-a-component-of-the-arduino-create-cloud-ide
