Description

Summary When trying to add a `BLOCK_LIST` feature when the maintainer noticed they didn't sanitize the `ImageId` in the code, which leads to path traversal vulnerability. Now, this is different from a traditional path traversal issue, because as of NOW you can store the image in any place arbitrarily, and given enough time they might be able to come up with a working exploit BUT for the time being they am reporting this. Details @jmondi/url-to-png does not sanitizing the `ImageID` as in not removing special chars from the params (extract_query_params.ts#l75) ```js const imageId = dateString + "." + slugify(validData.url) +configToString(params); ``` This when fed to other parts of the code such as (filesystem.ts#L34) ```js return path.join(this.storagePath, imageId) + ".png"; ``` Would result in path traversal issue. PoC ``` Configuration for filesystem storage provider (optional) STORAGE_PROVIDER=filesystem IMAGE_STORAGE_PATH=poc ``` Set this in your `.env` file and use this as your payload. ``` http://localhost:3089/?url=http://example.com&width=400&isDarkMode=../../../../../../../../../../../../tmp/hack ``` This will create a `.png` file in the `/tmp` section of the system. Loom POC: https://www.loom.com/share/bd7b306cdae7445c97e68f0626e743a6 This is valid for pretty much all the arguments (except for numeric values) A simple fix would be to use the `slugify` for the params as well like so (#L75) ```diff • const imageId = dateString + "." + slugify(validData.url) + configToString(params); + const imageId = dateString + "." + slugify(validData.url) + slugify(configToString(params)); ``` Impact This would be path traversal vulnerability which allows arbitrary write as of now.
