CVE-2024-56327Network attack vector

Arbitrary binary execution via path-separated plugin names

Published Dec 19, 2024 · Updated Dec 20, 2024

Code injection in pyrage 1.2.0 through 1.2.2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary binaries via malicious age plugin identifiers. The underlying age plugin parser accepts path separators in plugin names and uses the resulting value to select an executable without restricting it to a valid plugin name. The calling application must parse attacker-controlled plugin data; on UNIX systems, exploitation also requires a matching age-plugin-* directory in its working directory.
