With some self-hosted configurations in versions prior to 2022-08-29, attackers can register new accounts and upload files to arbitrary directories within the container. If the attacker uploads a Python script to the right location, they can execute arbitrary code within the container. To be affected, ALL of the following must be true: Self-hosted deployment (GrowthBook Cloud is unaffected); using local file uploads (as opposed to S3 or Google Cloud Storage); NODE_ENV set to a non-production value and JWT_SECRET set to an easily guessable string like `dev`. This issue is patched in commit 1a5edff8786d141161bf880c2fd9ccbe2850a264 (2022-08-29). As a workaround, set `JWT_SECRET` environment variable to a long random string. This will stop arbitrary file uploads, but the only way to stop attackers from registering accounts is by updating to the latest build." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.5, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-24: Path Traversal: '../filedir'" } ] }, { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/security/advisories/GHSA-j24q-55xh-wm4r", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/security/advisories/GHSA-j24q-55xh-wm4r" }, { "name": "https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/pull/487", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/pull/487" }, { "name": "https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/commit/1a5edff8786d141161bf880c2fd9ccbe2850a264", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/commit/1a5edff8786d141161bf880c2fd9ccbe2850a264" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-j24q-55xh-wm4r", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
