CVE-2024-41799Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unrestricted DME path

Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Path traversal in tgstation tgstation-server before 6.8.0 allows remote authenticated users to compile and execute host-resident DME files. DreamMaker joins the user-controlled DME name to the deployment output directory but fails to verify that the resolved target remains its child. The Set .dme Path privilege reaches the flaw; host command execution through BYOND shell() additionally requires a malicious file and BYOND trusted security level.
