GHSA-45hj-9x76-wp9g
Outray has a Race Condition in the cli's webapp
Quick fix
GHSA-45hj-9x76-wp9g — outray: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install outray@0.1.5Details
### Summary This vulnerability allows a user i.e a free plan user to get more than the desired subdomains due to lack of db transaction lock mechanisms in `https://github.com/akinloluwami/outray/blob/main/apps/web/src/routes/api/%24orgSlug/subdomains/index.ts`
### Details - The affected code-:
```ts //Race condition const [subscription] = await db .select() .from(subscriptions) .where(eq(subscriptions.organizationId, organization.id));
const currentPlan = subscription?.plan || "free"; const planLimits = getPlanLimits(currentPlan as any); const subdomainLimit = planLimits.maxSubdomains;
const existingSubdomains = await db .select() .from(subdomains) .where(eq(subdomains.organizationId, organization.id));
if (existingSubdomains.length >= subdomainLimit) { return json( { error: `Subdomain limit reached. The ${currentPlan} plan allows ${subdomainLimit} subdomain${subdomainLimit > 1 ? "s" : ""}.`, }, { status: 403 }, ); }
const existing = await db .select() .from(subdomains) .where(eq(subdomains.subdomain, subdomain)) .limit(1);
if (existing.length > 0) { return json({ error: "Subdomain already taken" }, { status: 409 }); }
const [newSubdomain] = await db .insert(subdomains) .values({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), subdomain, organizationId: organization.id, userId: session.user.id, }) .returning(); ```
- The first part of the code checks the user plan and determine his/her existing_domains without locking the transaction and allowing it to run. ```ts const existingSubdomains = await db .select() .from(subdomains) .where(eq(subdomains.organizationId, organization.id)); ```
- The other part of the code checks if the desired domain is more than the limit.
```ts if (existingSubdomains.length >= subdomainLimit) { return json( { error: `Subdomain limit reached. The ${currentPlan} plan allows ${subdomainLimit} subdomain${subdomainLimit > 1 ? "s" : ""}.`, }, { status: 403 }, ); } ```
- Finally, it inserts the subdomain also after the whole check without locking transactions.
```ts const [newSubdomain] = await db .insert(subdomains) .values({ id: crypto.randomUUID(), subdomain, organizationId: organization.id, userId: session.user.id, }) .returning(); ``` - An attacker can exploit this by making parallel requests to the same endpoint and if the second request reads row `subdomains` before the `INSERT` statement of request one is made.It allows the attacker to act on a not yet updated row which bypasses the checks and allow the attacker to get more subdomains.For example-:
``` Parallel request 1 Parallel Request 2 | | checks for Checks the not yet updated available subdomain row and bypasses the logic checks and determines if it is more than limit | | Inserts subdomain and calls it a day Also inserts the subdomain ``` - The attack focuses on exploiting the race window between reading and writing the db rows.
### PoC
- Intercept with Burp proxy,pass to `Repeater` and create multiple requests in a single batch with different subdomain names as seen below. Lastly, send the requests in `parallel`.

### Impact The vulnerability provides an infiinite supply of domains to users bypassing the need for subscription
