Description

bleon-ethical/api-gateway-deploy provides API gateway deployment. Version 1.0.0 is vulnerable to an attack chain involving OS Command Injection and Privilege Escalation. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges within the container, potentially leading to a container escape and unauthorized infrastructure modifications. This is fixed in version 1.0.1 by implementing strict input sanitization and secure delimiters in entrypoint.sh, enforcing a non-root user (appuser) in the Dockerfile, and establishing mandatory security quality gates.

Techniques & Countermeasures

  • CWE-78•Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

    The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.

  • CWE-88•Improper Neutralization of Argument Delimiters in a Command ('Argument Injection')

    The product constructs a string for a command to be executed by a separate component in another control sphere, but it does not properly delimit the intended arguments, options, or switches within that command string.

  • CWE-250•Execution with Unnecessary Privileges

    The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.

  • CWE-269•Improper Privilege Management

    The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
