Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2020-11-13 00:00

Details

### Impact Remote code execution vulnerability in `dependabot-common` and `dependabot-go_modules` when a source branch name contains malicious injectable bash code. For example, if Dependabot is configured to use the following source branch name: `"/$({curl,127.0.0.1})"`, Dependabot will make a HTTP request to the following URL: 127.0.0.1 when cloning the source repository. When Dependabot is configured to clone the source repository during an update, Dependabot runs a shell command to git clone the repository: ```bash git clone --no-tags --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 --branch=<BRANCH> --single-branch <GITHUB_REPO_URL> repo/contents/path ``` Dependabot will always clone the source repository for `go_modules` during the file fetching step and can be configured to clone the repository for other package managers using the `FileFetcher` class from `dependabot-common`. ```ruby source = Dependabot::Source.new( provider: "github", repo: "repo/name", directory: "/", branch: "/$({curl,127.0.0.1})", ) repo_contents_path = "./file/path" fetcher = Dependabot::FileFetchers.for_package_manager("bundler"). new(source: source, credentials: [], repo_contents_path: repo_contents_path) fetcher.clone_repo_contents ``` ### Workarounds Escape the branch name prior to passing it to the `Dependabot::Source` class. For example using `shellwords`: ```ruby require "shellwords" branch = Shellwords.escape("/$({curl,127.0.0.1})") source = Dependabot::Source.new( provider: "github", repo: "repo/name", directory: "/", branch: branch, ) ```

CVE-2020-26222 (GCVE-0-2020-26222)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2020-11-13 16:00 – Updated: 2024-08-04 15:49

Title

Remote code execution in dependabot-core

Summary

Dependabot is a set of packages for automated dependency management for Ruby, JavaScript, Python, PHP, Elixir, Rust, Java, .NET, Elm and Go. In Dependabot-Core from version 0.119.0.beta1 before version 0.125.1, there is a remote code execution vulnerability in dependabot-common and dependabot-go_modules when a source branch name contains malicious injectable bash code. For example, if Dependabot is configured to use the following source branch name: "/$({curl,127.0.0.1})", Dependabot will make a HTTP request to the following URL: 127.0.0.1 when cloning the source repository. The fix was applied to version 0.125.1. As a workaround, one can escape the branch name prior to passing it to the Dependabot::Source class.

Impact

Remote code execution vulnerability in dependabot-common and dependabot-go_modules when a source branch name contains malicious injectable bash code.

For example, if Dependabot is configured to use the following source branch name: "/$({curl,127.0.0.1})", Dependabot will make a HTTP request to the following URL: 127.0.0.1 when cloning the source repository.

When Dependabot is configured to clone the source repository during an update, Dependabot runs a shell command to git clone the repository:

git clone --no-tags --no-recurse-submodules --depth=1 --branch=<BRANCH> --single-branch <GITHUB_REPO_URL> repo/contents/path

Dependabot will always clone the source repository for go_modules during the file fetching step and can be configured to clone the repository for other package managers using the FileFetcher class from dependabot-common.

source = Dependabot::Source.new(
  provider: "github",
  repo: "repo/name",
  directory: "/",
  branch: "/$({curl,127.0.0.1})",
)

repo_contents_path = "./file/path"
fetcher = Dependabot::FileFetchers.for_package_manager("bundler").
                  new(source: source, credentials: [],
                  repo_contents_path: repo_contents_path)
fetcher.clone_repo_contents

Patches

The fix was applied to version 0.125.1: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/pull/2727

Workarounds

Escape the branch name prior to passing it to the Dependabot::Source class.

For example using shellwords:

require "shellwords"
branch = Shellwords.escape("/$({curl,127.0.0.1})")
source = Dependabot::Source.new(
  provider: "github",
  repo: "repo/name",
  directory: "/",
  branch: branch,
)

Severity

8.7 (High)
