Attack Chain

1. An attacker gains a non-admin user account with both SETTINGS and ADD permissions in pyLoad.
2. The attacker uses the /api/set_config_value endpoint to modify the storage_folder option, setting its value to the Flask session store directory: /tmp/pyLoad/flask. This bypasses existing path restrictions.
3. The attacker calculates the target session filename by computing the MD5 hash of the string “session:ATTACKER_SESSION_ID”.
4. The attacker hosts a malicious pickle payload (e.g., 92912f771df217fb6fbfded6705dd47c) on a remote server.
5. The attacker uses the /api/add_package endpoint to add a download package. The download link points to the hosted malicious pickle payload on the attacker’s server: http://attacker.com/92912f771df217fb6fbfded6705dd47c. The dest parameter specifies where to store the downloaded file.
6. pyLoad downloads the malicious pickle payload and saves it to the Flask session store directory, naming it according to the MD5 hash calculated earlier.
7. The attacker crafts an HTTP request to the pyLoad server, including a cookie named pyload_session_{port} with the value ATTACKER_SESSION_ID. The port number is derived from the pyLoad configuration.
8. Upon receiving the request with the crafted cookie, Flask attempts to load the session data from the corresponding file. The cachelib library deserializes the malicious pickle payload using pickle.load(), triggering arbitrary code execution.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows a non-admin user with SETTINGS and ADD permissions to achieve arbitrary code execution as the pyload service user. This grants the attacker the ability to execute arbitrary commands, read environment variables (potentially exposing API keys and credentials), access the filesystem (including download history and user databases), and potentially pivot to other network resources. The vulnerability requires no authentication to trigger the final stage of exploitation, increasing its severity and potential impact.

Recommendation

• Apply the suggested fix by adding storage_folder to the ADMIN_ONLY_OPTIONS set in the pyLoad configuration to prevent non-admin users from modifying it.
• Block the malicious URLs used to deliver the pickle payload, specifically http://attacker.com/92912f771df217fb6fbfded6705dd47c, at your network perimeter.
• Monitor for HTTP requests containing the crafted session cookie (pyload_session_{port}=ATTACKER_SESSION_ID), using a webserver or proxy log source, as it triggers the final stage of the attack.

Attack Chain

1. Attacker crafts a malicious SAML response containing an unsigned assertion with a forged identity (e.g., a privileged user’s email).
2. The attacker prepends this malicious assertion to a valid, signed SAML assertion generated for a low-privilege account or a newly created account.
3. The combined SAML response is sent to the OneUptime platform for authentication.
4. The isSignatureValid() function verifies the signature of the second assertion (the originally signed, valid one), passing the signature check.
5. The getEmail() function extracts the email address from the first assertion (the malicious, unsigned one), effectively impersonating the forged identity.
6. OneUptime grants access based on the forged identity extracted from the malicious assertion.
7. The attacker gains unauthorized access to the OneUptime platform with the privileges of the impersonated user.
8. The attacker can then view monitoring data, modify configurations, or perform other actions allowed to the compromised account.

Impact

• Monitor web server logs for suspicious requests to the /api/System.php endpoint, specifically those containing unusual or unexpected URLs in the url parameter, to identify potential exploitation attempts.

Attack Chain

1. The attacker identifies an AVideo instance running a vulnerable version (<= 26.0).
2. The attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request targeting the plugin/Live/test.php endpoint.
3. The crafted request includes a URL parameter pointing to an internal resource (e.g., http://localhost/admin).
4. The AVideo server, without proper validation, processes the request and sends an HTTP request to the attacker-specified URL.
5. The server receives the HTTP response from the internal resource.
6. The server may return the content of the internal resource to the attacker, depending on the AVideo application logic.
7. The attacker analyzes the returned content, potentially gaining access to sensitive information like configuration files, API keys, or internal service endpoints.
8. The attacker leverages the exposed information to further compromise the AVideo instance or the internal network.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this SSRF vulnerability (CVE-2026-33502) can lead to the exposure of sensitive internal resources, including configuration files, API keys, and cloud metadata. This can enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to internal systems, escalate privileges, and potentially compromise the entire infrastructure. The number of affected AVideo instances is currently unknown, but given its open-source nature, it is potentially widespread across various sectors. A successful attack can lead to data breaches, service disruption, and reputational damage.

Recommendation

• Upgrade AVideo instances to a patched version containing commit 1e6cf03e93b5a5318204b010ea28440b0d9a5ab3 to remediate CVE-2026-33502.
• Deploy the Sigma rule Detect AVideo SSRF Attempt via plugin Live Test to identify potential exploitation attempts targeting the vulnerable endpoint.
• Implement network segmentation to restrict access to internal resources and mitigate the impact of successful SSRF exploitation.
• Review webserver logs for suspicious requests to plugin/Live/test.php with unusual URL parameters (log source: webserver).

Attack Chain

1. An attacker sends a request with a crafted X-Forwarded-Prefix header (e.g., X-Forwarded-Prefix: /admin) to a trusted upstream proxy (e.g., nginx).
2. The trusted proxy forwards the request to the Traefik instance.
3. Traefik’s StripPrefix middleware processes the request, stripping a configured prefix (e.g., /forbidden) and appending it to the X-Forwarded-Prefix header using Header.Add.
4. The ForwardAuth middleware creates a subrequest to the authentication service, copying all incoming headers, including the attacker-controlled X-Forwarded-Prefix and the StripPrefix-added value.
5. The authentication service receives the subrequest with the concatenated X-Forwarded-Prefix values, where the attacker’s value appears first (e.g., X-Forwarded-Prefix: /admin, /forbidden).
6. The authentication service incorrectly uses the attacker-supplied /admin prefix to make authorization decisions.
7. The authentication service authorizes the request due to the spoofed prefix.
8. Traefik forwards the request to the protected backend route, granting the attacker unauthorized access.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass access controls and gain unauthorized access to protected backend routes. This can lead to data breaches, unauthorized modification of resources, and other security compromises. The impact is especially severe in environments where StripPrefix is used before ForwardAuth, and where the authentication service relies heavily on the X-Forwarded-Prefix header for authorization decisions. The number of affected deployments is unknown but likely significant, given Traefik’s popularity as a reverse proxy and load balancer.

Recommendation

• Upgrade to Traefik version v2.11.43, v3.6.14, or v3.7.0-rc.2 or later to patch the vulnerability.
• As a workaround, if upgrading is not immediately feasible, configure your authentication service to validate and sanitize the X-Forwarded-Prefix header, ensuring it only trusts values originating from the trusted proxy.
• Implement the following Sigma rule to detect suspicious requests with the X-Forwarded-Prefix header targeting the /forbidden path, indicating potential exploitation attempts.
• Review and harden your Traefik configuration to ensure that the trustForwardHeader parameter is appropriately set based on your deployment environment and trust relationships.
• Monitor Traefik access logs for suspicious activity, especially requests with unusual X-Forwarded-Prefix values, using the webserver log source.

Attack Chain

1. The attacker identifies an instance of BigSweetPotatoStudio HyperChat running version 2.0.0-alpha.63 or earlier.
2. The attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request targeting the AI Proxy Middleware component.
3. The crafted request includes a manipulated baseurl argument within the request to the fetch function, pointing to an internal resource (e.g., http://localhost:8080/admin) or an external server controlled by the attacker.
4. The HyperChat server, without proper validation of the baseurl, uses it to make an HTTP request.
5. If the baseurl points to an internal resource, the server retrieves the content of that resource and sends it back to the attacker.
6. If the baseurl points to an external server, the server makes a request to the attacker’s server, potentially leaking sensitive information in the request headers or body.
7. The attacker analyzes the response from the server to gather sensitive information or identify further attack vectors.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this SSRF vulnerability (CVE-2026-7223) can allow an attacker to read sensitive internal data, such as configuration files or API keys, potentially leading to full system compromise. The attacker could also use the vulnerable server as a proxy to scan internal networks or attack other internal systems. Due to the public availability of the exploit, organizations using vulnerable versions of HyperChat are at increased risk of being targeted. The CVSS v3.1 base score for this vulnerability is 7.3, indicating a high severity.

Recommendation

• Apply appropriate input validation and sanitization to the baseurl argument in the AI Proxy Middleware to prevent manipulation, addressing CVE-2026-7223.
• Implement network segmentation to restrict access from the HyperChat server to only necessary internal resources.
• Deploy the Sigma rule “HyperChat SSRF Attempt” to detect attempts to exploit the vulnerability via HTTP request patterns.
• Monitor web server logs for suspicious outbound connections originating from the HyperChat server, correlating with user input.

Attack Chain

1. An unauthenticated attacker identifies a Weaver E-cology 9.5 instance.
2. The attacker sends a crafted XML-RPC request to the XmlRpcServlet endpoint.
3. The request invokes either the WorkflowService.getAttachment or WorkflowService.LoadTemplateProp method.
4. The attacker includes a file path to a sensitive file (e.g., /etc/passwd, database configuration files) as a parameter in the XML-RPC request.
5. The vulnerable method processes the request without proper authentication or authorization checks.
6. The server reads the content of the specified file.
7. The server returns the file content in the XML-RPC response.
8. The attacker parses the response to extract the contents of the sensitive file, potentially gaining access to credentials or other sensitive information.

Impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2022-50992 allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the Weaver E-cology server. This can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as system configuration files, database credentials, and other confidential data. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.5, indicating a high severity vulnerability. This vulnerability can lead to full system compromise if database credentials are leaked.

Recommendation

• Upgrade Weaver E-cology instances to version 10.52 or later to remediate CVE-2022-50992.
• Deploy the Sigma rule Detect Weaver E-cology File Read via XML-RPC to identify exploitation attempts targeting the vulnerable XML-RPC endpoint.
• Monitor web server logs for suspicious requests to the XmlRpcServlet endpoint, specifically those containing WorkflowService.getAttachment or WorkflowService.LoadTemplateProp, using the provided Sigma rule.
• Implement network segmentation to limit the blast radius of a potential compromise and restrict access to sensitive internal resources.

Attack Chain

1. An attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request targeting a pygeoapi instance configured with a STAC collection resource.
2. The crafted request includes a URL containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to navigate the file system.
3. pygeoapi’s STAC FileSystemProvider plugin receives the request and attempts to resolve the file path.
4. Due to the raw string path concatenation vulnerability, the path traversal sequences are not properly sanitized.
5. The application constructs an incorrect file path, allowing access to files and directories outside of the intended STAC collection directory.
6. The attacker retrieves sensitive information or configuration files located in the exposed directories.
7. The attacker could potentially use the exposed information to further compromise the system.
8. The final objective is unauthorized access to sensitive data and potentially system compromise.

Impact

The path traversal vulnerability in pygeoapi allows unauthorized access to directories and files, potentially exposing sensitive data, configuration files, or even source code. The impact depends on the data stored in the exposed directories. Successful exploitation can lead to information disclosure, privilege escalation, and further system compromise. Organizations using vulnerable pygeoapi versions are at risk until they upgrade to version 0.23.3 or implement the recommended workaround.

Recommendation

• Upgrade to pygeoapi version 0.23.3 to patch the vulnerability as detailed in the advisory (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f6pr-83pg-ghh6).
• As an immediate mitigation, disable STAC collection-based resources in the pygeoapi configuration as described in the advisory (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f6pr-83pg-ghh6).
• Deploy the Sigma rule “pygeoapi Path Traversal Attempt” to detect exploitation attempts in web server logs.

Attack Chain

1. The attacker authenticates to the AzuraCast web interface with a valid user account that has the StationPermissions::Media permission (e.g., DJ or Station Manager).
2. The attacker crafts a malicious HTTP POST request to the /api/station/{station_id}/files/upload endpoint, targeting a station that uses local storage.
3. The request includes a currentDirectory parameter containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../../../../var/azuracast/www/public).
4. The request also includes a PHP webshell file (shell.php) as the file_data parameter.
5. The server-side code in FlowUploadAction.php concatenates the unsanitized currentDirectory value with the sanitized filename.
6. The server attempts to process the uploaded file, but the .php extension triggers a CannotProcessMediaException.
7. The finally block in MediaProcessor.php executes, calling LocalFilesystem::upload() to copy the file to the concatenated path, bypassing normal path sanitization due to PathPrefixer::prefixPath().
8. The webshell is written to the web root, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands by accessing the webshell via HTTP.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the AzuraCast server. This can lead to full server compromise, including reading sensitive configuration files (database credentials, API keys), accessing all station data, modifying application code, and potentially escalating privileges to root. A DJ-level user, the lowest privileged role with media access, can achieve the equivalent of full system administrator access, resulting in data exfiltration and complete control over the AzuraCast instance.

Recommendation

• Apply the vendor-provided patch by sanitizing the currentDirectory parameter in FlowUploadAction.php using UploadedFile::filterClientPath() to prevent path traversal.
• Implement path normalization in LocalFilesystem::upload() to prevent traversal even after concatenation, as described in the advisory.
• Deploy the Sigma rule “Detect AzuraCast Webshell Upload via Path Traversal” to identify exploitation attempts based on suspicious currentDirectory parameters.
• Monitor web server logs for access to unusual PHP files in the web root directory, such as shell.php as described in the PoC.
• Ensure that AzuraCast instances do not grant excessive permissions to users; minimize the number of accounts with StationPermissions::Media.
