Sandboxed code execution via unchecked Script Actions
Published Oct 21, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Script Action privilege escalation in Hyland Alfresco Content Services through 7.0.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to run sandboxed code. The Script Action business logic executes scripts uploaded outside the Data Dictionary without validation that preserves the intended sandbox privileges. A logged-in account and access to upload and invoke a Script Action are required; execution remains confined to the application sandbox.
