Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-03-07 21:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 07:23
Severity
9.9 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
pgAdmin <= 8.3 is affected by a path-traversal vulnerability while deserializing users’ sessions in the session handling code. If the server is running on Windows, an unauthenticated attacker can load and deserialize remote pickle objects and gain code execution. If the server is running on POSIX/Linux, an authenticated attacker can upload pickle objects, deserialize them, and gain code execution.

Cuando un usuario realiza una solicitud, el valor de la cookie de sesi\u00f3n \u0027pga4_session\u0027 se utiliza para recuperar el archivo, luego se deserializa su contenido y finalmente se verifica su firma. El valor de la cookie se divide en 2 partes en el primer \u0027!\u0027 personaje. La primera parte es el ID de la sesi\u00f3n (sid), mientras que la segunda es el resumen de la sesi\u00f3n. La vulnerabilidad radica en las versiones de pgAdmin anteriores a la 8.4, donde un m\u00e9todo carga archivos de sesi\u00f3n concatenando la carpeta de sesiones, ubicada dentro de pgAdmin 4 DATA_DIR, con el ID de sesi\u00f3n. Precisamente, los dos valores se concatenan usando la funci\u00f3n [\u0027os.path.join\u0027]. No establece una ruta base confiable de la que no se debe escapar"
