CVE-2023-6019Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via shell-interpreted profile format

Published Nov 16, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

OS command injection in Anyscale Ray before 2.8.1 allows remote attackers to execute commands through the dashboard's cpu_profile endpoint. The handler passes its unvalidated format query value to CpuProfilingManager, which interpolates it into a py-spy command executed with shell=True. An unauthenticated HTTP request can run commands with dashboard-agent privileges when the dashboard is reachable from an untrusted network.
