Authenticated code execution via Unicode-obfuscated playbook keys
Published Mar 29, 2024 · Updated Mar 25, 2025
Code injection in JumpServer 3.0.0 through 3.10.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code in the Celery container. Its string-based Ansible playbook blocklist inspects raw input without parsing JSON, so Unicode-escaped dangerous keys are decoded only after validation. A low-privilege account with Job Center access and at least one assigned asset can run commands as root in Celery, exposing its database and managed-host access.
