Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
๐จ **Essence**: Kedro < 1.3.0 has a code injection flaw. ๐ **Consequences**: Attackers can achieve **Remote Code Execution (RCE)** by manipulating log config paths via environment variables. Critical system compromise!
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
๐ก๏ธ **Root Cause**: **CWE-94** (Code Injection). ๐ **Flaw**: The application fails to validate the file path set in environment variables for logging configurations. Untrusted input leads to direct code execution.
Q3Who is affected? (Versions/Components)
๐ฆ **Affected**: **kedro-org/kedro**. ๐ **Version**: All versions **prior to 1.3.0**. If you are running Kedro 1.2.x or earlier, you are vulnerable!
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
๐ **Hackers' Power**: Full **Remote Code Execution**. ๐ **Impact**: Complete control over the host system. They can steal data, modify files, or pivot to other systems.โฆ
โก **Threshold**: **LOW**. ๐ **Network**: Attack vector is **Network** (AV:N). ๐ **Auth**: **No Privileges** (PR:N) or **User Interaction** (UI:N) required. If the service is exposed, it's game over.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
๐ **Public Exp?**: **No**. The `pocs` array is empty. ๐ซ **Wild Exp**: Currently no known wild exploitation. However, the CVSS score is **Critical (9.8)**, so exploit code may appear soon!
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
๐ **Self-Check**: Scan for Kedro services. ๐งช **Test**: Check if environment variables control log paths. Look for unvalidated file path inputs in logging configurations. Use SAST tools to find CWE-94 patterns.
Q8Is it fixed officially? (Patch/Mitigation)
โ **Fixed?**: **YES**. ๐ฉน **Patch**: Upgrade to **Kedro 1.3.0** or later. The vendor (kedro-org) has issued a security advisory (GHSA-9cqf-439c-j96r). Update immediately!
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
๐ง **No Patch?**: **Mitigation**: Strictly validate and sanitize environment variables used for log configuration paths. ๐ **Restrict**: Limit network access to Kedro services.โฆ
๐ฅ **Urgency**: **CRITICAL**. ๐จ **Priority**: **P1**. With CVSS 9.8 and no auth required, patch immediately upon upgrading to v1.3.0. Do not wait for an exploit to appear!
