Administrator-to-root execution via CRLF-injected service configuration
Published Jul 29, 2026 · Updated Jul 29, 2026
CRLF injection in Heimdall Data Database Proxy 25.03.01.21 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code as root. The generateFileContent function inserts administrator-supplied hdUser and hdPassword values into an operating-system service configuration without neutralizing CRLF sequences. Administrator access and configuration of those values are required, after which injected service directives execute with root privileges.
