Insufficient File Upload Validation
TBD
The Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF)
ROS2 Iron Irwini (ROS_VERSION=2 and ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=3)
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability has been discovered in ROS2 Iron Irwini. This vulnerability lies within the file upload mechanism of the ROS2 system, including the server’s functionality for handling file uploads and the associated validation processes. This flaw allows attackers to upload malicious files, leading to various security threats.
Code Execution: True; Denial of Service: True; Information Disclosure: True; Other: System and Data Compromise, Spread of Malware, Data Breaches, Operational Disruption.
The vulnerability can be exploited through direct file uploads, bypassing validation checks, and exploiting insecure network transmissions.
ROS2 users should immediately update their system to a version that rectifies this vulnerability. It's crucial to enhance the file upload validation process to prevent the upload of malicious files.
In the absence of an immediate update, users should manually enforce stringent file upload controls, including file type restrictions and size limitations. Monitoring network transmissions for signs of insecurity or unusual activity is also recommended.
Confirmed and published.
