Description

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.

Recommendation

Update the dbgate-serve package to the latest compatible version. Followings are version details:

  • Affected version(s): <= 7.1.8
  • Patched version(s): 7.1.9
