Summary
SnakeYaml Constructor Deserialization Remote Code Execution
Details

Summary

SnakeYaml's Constructor class, which inherits from SafeConstructor, allows any type be deserialized given the following line:

new Yaml(new Constructor(TestDataClass.class)).load(yamlContent);

Types do not have to match the types of properties in the target class. A ConstructorException is thrown, but only after a malicious payload is deserialized.

Severity

High, lack of type checks during deserialization allows remote code execution.

Proof of Concept

Execute bash run.sh. The PoC uses Constructor to deserialize a payload for RCE. RCE is demonstrated by using a payload which performs a http request to http://127.0.0.1:8000.

Example output of successful run of proof of concept:

``` $ bash run.sh

[+] Downloading snakeyaml if needed [+] Starting mock HTTP server on 127.0.0.1:8000 to demonstrate RCE nc: no process found [+] Compiling and running Proof of Concept, which a payload that sends a HTTP request to mock web server. [+] An exception is expected. Exception: Cannot create property=payload for JavaBean=Main$TestDataClass@3cbbc1e0 in 'string', line 1, column 1: payload: !!javax.script.ScriptEn ... ^ Can not set java.lang.String field Main$TestDataClass.payload to javax.script.ScriptEngineManager in 'string', line 1, column 10: payload: !!javax.script.ScriptEngineManag ... ^

Further Analysis

Potential mitigations include, leveraging SnakeYaml's SafeConstructor while parsing untrusted content.

See https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml/issues/561/cve-2022-1471-vulnerability-in#comment-64581479 for discussion on the subject.

A fix was released in version 2.0. See https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml/issues/561/cve-2022-1471-vulnerability-in#comment-64876314 for more information.
