CVE-2024-21545
Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. Insufficient safeguards against malicious API response values allow authenticated attackers with 'Sys.Audit' or 'VM.Monitor' privileges to download arbitrary host files via the API. When handling the result from a request handler before returning it to the user, the handle_api2_request function will check for the ‘download’ or ‘data’->’download’ objects inside the request handler call response object.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
If present, handle_api2_request will read a local file defined by this object and return it to the user. Two endpoints were identified which can control the object returned by a request handler sufficiently that the ’download’ object is defined and user controlled. This results in arbitrary file read. The privileges of this file read can result in full compromise of the system by various impacts such as disclosing sensitive files allowing for privileged session forgery.

"value": "Proxmox Virtual Environment es una plataforma de administración de servidores de código abierto para la virtualización empresarial. Las protecciones insuficientes contra valores de respuesta de API maliciosos permiten que atacantes autenticados con privilegios 'Sys.Audit' o 'VM.Monitor' descarguen archivos de host arbitrarios a través de la API. Al manejar el resultado de un controlador de solicitud antes de devolverlo al usuario, la función handle_api2_request verificará los objetos 'download' o 'data'->'download' dentro del objeto de respuesta de llamada del controlador de solicitud. Si está presente, handle_api2_request leerá un archivo local definido por este objeto y lo devolverá al usuario. Se identificaron dos endpoints que pueden controlar el objeto devuelto por un controlador de solicitud lo suficiente como para que el objeto 'download' esté definido y controlado por el usuario. Esto da como resultado la lectura de archivos arbitrarios. Los privilegios de esta lectura de archivos pueden provocar un compromiso total del sistema por varios impactos, como la divulgación de archivos confidenciales que permiten la falsificación de sesiones privilegiadas."
