CVE ID

CVE-2024-30719

Title

Insecure Deserialization Vulnerability in ROS2 Dashing Diademata

Vulnerability Type

Insecure Deserialization

Severity

TBD

Vendor

The Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF)

Products Affected

ROS2 Dashing Diademata (ROS_VERSION=2 and ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=3)

Description

An insecure deserialization vulnerability has been identified in ROS2 Dashing Diademata. This vulnerability affects the data handling components, specifically those responsible for deserializing data. This vulnerability is particularly present in Data Serialization and Deserialization Components, Inter-Process Communication Mechanisms, and Network Communication Interfaces. These components can be manipulated if they process data from untrusted sources without adequate validation or sanitization, leading to arbitrary code execution.

Impact

Code Execution: True; Information Disclosure: True; Other: System and Network Compromise, Operational Disruption, Loss of Trust, and Reputation Damage.

Attack Vector

The vulnerability can be exploited by injecting malicious data, exploiting insecure network communication, compromised data sources, and through social engineering tactics.

Solution

To remediate this vulnerability, users should immediately update to a secure version of ROS2 Dashing Diademata that addresses this issue. Additionally, it's critical to ensure all data deserialization processes are secure and validate data from external sources rigorously.

Workaround

In the absence of a fix, users should implement stringent input validation and sanitization measures for data deserialization and enhance the overall security of their network communication to prevent exploitation.

CVE Status

Confirmed and published.
