PYSEC-2026-2147

Vulnerability from pysec - Published: 2026-03-20 21:17 - Updated: 2026-07-13 05:48

Details

dynaconf is a configuration management tool for Python. Prior to version 3.2.13, Dynaconf is vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) due to unsafe template evaluation in the @Jinja resolver. When the jinja2 package is installed, Dynaconf evaluates template expressions embedded in configuration values without a sandboxed environment. This issue has been patched in version 3.2.13.

Severity

8.1 (High)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-18 20:08 – Updated: 2026-04-14 21:59

Summary

dynaconf Affected by Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Insecure Template Evaluation in @jinja Resolver

Details

Summary

Dynaconf is vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) due to unsafe template evaluation in the @jinja resolver. When the jinja2 package is installed, Dynaconf evaluates template expressions embedded in configuration values without a sandboxed environment.

If an attacker can influence configuration sources such as: environment variables .env files container environment configuration CI/CD secrets they can execute arbitrary OS commands on the host system. In addition, the @format resolver allows object graph traversal, which may expose sensitive runtime objects and environment variables.

Details

The vulnerability arises because Dynaconf's string resolvers lack proper security boundaries.

@jinja Resolver The @jinja resolver renders templates using full Jinja2 evaluation. However, the rendering context is not sandboxed, which allows attackers to access Python's internal attributes. Using objects such as cycler, attackers can reach Python's globals and import the os module.

Example attack path cycler → init → globals → os → popen() This leads to arbitrary command execution.

@format Resolver The @format resolver performs Python string formatting using internal objects. This allows attackers to traverse Python's object graph and access sensitive runtime objects. Example traversal: {this.class.init.globals[os].environ} This can expose
API keys
database credentials
internal service tokens
environment secrets

PoC

import os
from dynaconf import Dynaconf
# Malicious configuration injection
os.environ["DYNACONF_RCE"] = "@jinja {{ cycler.__init__.__globals__.os.popen('id').read() }}"
settings = Dynaconf()
print("[!] Command Execution Result:")
print(settings.RCE)

Impact

Successful exploitation allows attackers to: - Execute arbitrary OS commands on the host system - Access sensitive environment variables - Compromise application secrets - Fully compromise the running application process Because configuration values may originate from CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration systems, or environment injection, this vulnerability can become remotely exploitable in real-world deployments.

Remediation / Mitigation (Examples)

Use Jinja2 sandbox for template rendering

from jinja2.sandbox import SandboxedEnvironment
env = SandboxedEnvironment()
template = env.from_string("{{ config_value }}")
safe_value = template.render(config_value=user_input)```

Restrict @format usage to trusted values

safe_value = "{name}".format(name=trusted_name)

Severity

7.5 (High)
