CVE-2023-1304Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated OS command execution via exposed getattr

Published Mar 21, 2023 · Updated Feb 25, 2025

Code injection in Rapid7 InsightCloudSec 23.2.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands through Jinja templates. The access_query_column method exposes Python getattr(), letting a crafted template traverse private attributes from resource.db to reach os.popen. Bot creator or bot editor privileges are required to submit and render the template, after which commands run on the application host.
