          "value": "0day Rubbish Research Team is publicly disclosing a vulnerability in DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.8.49 (DataStax). The \nresearch is published and a proof-of-concept is available.\n\nPre-authentication RCE (CVSS 9.8, pre-authentication)\n\nDataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.8.49 runs a Gremlin Server on WebSocket 8182. The default configuration has the \ngremlin_server authentication section commented out, which means TinkerPop\u0027s default allowAll authenticator - no \nauthentication. The gremlin-groovy sandbox is enabled by default, but the sandbox only wraps the top-level submitted \nscript; groovy.lang.Script.evaluate(String) creates a fresh GroovyShell with a default CompilerConfiguration that does \nnot include the SandboxTransformer, so a nested string is compiled and executed sandbox-free. An attacker submits \nthis.evaluate(\"\u003cnested script\u003e\"); the nested script runs [\"/bin/sh\",\"-c\",\"\u003ccmd\u003e\"].execute().text, executing arbitrary \nsystem commands as the dse user. Dynamically verified.\n\nImpact: Full read of the host filesystem and configuration as the dse user, arbitrary OS command execution, and full \ncontrol of the DSE host and database services.\n\nAdvisory: https://0day-rubbish.com/blog/dse-gremlin-sandbox-bypass-rce\n\nPoC and full analysis: https://github.com/Exploit-Garbage/0day-Rubbish\n\n-- \n0day Rubbish Research Team\nhttps://0day-rubbish.com\n_______________________________________________\nSent through the Full Disclosure mailing list\nhttps://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure\nWeb Archives \u0026 RSS: https://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/"
