Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Locutus < 3.0.14 suffers from **Code Injection**. <br>π₯ **Consequences**: The `create_function` function fails to sanitize inputs. This allows attackers to execute **arbitrary code** on the target system.β¦
π‘οΈ **Root Cause**: **CWE-94** (Code Injection). <br>π **Flaw**: The `create_function` parameter is **not cleaned/validated**. Malicious payloads slip through directly into the execution engine.
π΅οΈ **Hacker Power**: **Arbitrary Code Execution (RCE)**. <br>π **Privileges**: Full control over the process context. <br>π **Data**: Complete access to sensitive data, system files, and environment variables.
π« **Public Exploit**: **No**. <br>π **PoCs**: Empty list in data. <br>β οΈ **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)
π **Self-Check**: Scan your `package.json` or dependencies. <br>π **Look For**: `locutus` version number. <br>β **Action**: If version < 3.0.14, you are vulnerable.β¦
β **Fixed**: **Yes**. <br>π§ **Patch**: Upgrade to **Locutus 3.0.14** or later. <br>π **Source**: See GitHub Advisory GHSA-vh9h-29pq-r5m8 for official confirmation.
Q9What if no patch? (Workaround)
π **No Patch?**: **Isolate** the component. <br>π« **Mitigation**: Remove `create_function` usage if possible.β¦
