Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
๐จ **Essence**: Locutus < 3.0.14 suffers from **Code Injection**. <br>๐ฅ **Consequences**: The `create_function` function fails to sanitize inputs. This allows attackers to execute **arbitrary code** on the target system.โฆ
๐ก๏ธ **Root Cause**: **CWE-94** (Code Injection). <br>๐ **Flaw**: The `create_function` parameter is **not cleaned/validated**. Malicious payloads slip through directly into the execution engine.
๐ต๏ธ **Hacker Power**: **Arbitrary Code Execution (RCE)**. <br>๐ **Privileges**: Full control over the process context. <br>๐ **Data**: Complete access to sensitive data, system files, and environment variables.
๐ซ **Public Exploit**: **No**. <br>๐ **PoCs**: Empty list in data. <br>โ ๏ธ **Status**: While no public PoC exists, the CVSS score (10.0) suggests high exploitability. Assume **wild exploitation** risk is rising.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
๐ **Self-Check**: Scan your `package.json` or dependencies. <br>๐ **Look For**: `locutus` version number. <br>โ **Action**: If version < 3.0.14, you are vulnerable.โฆ
โ **Fixed**: **Yes**. <br>๐ง **Patch**: Upgrade to **Locutus 3.0.14** or later. <br>๐ **Source**: See GitHub Advisory GHSA-vh9h-29pq-r5m8 for official confirmation.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
๐ **No Patch?**: **Isolate** the component. <br>๐ซ **Mitigation**: Remove `create_function` usage if possible.โฆ
