Authenticated command execution via unsandboxed Groovy evaluation
Published Jul 12, 2026 · Updated Jul 12, 2026
OS command injection in SonicCloudOrg sonic-agent 2.7.0 through 2.7.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands on the agent host. The evalIsFailed method passes the Groovy runScript step's untrusted script string directly to GroovyShell.evaluate without a sandbox or restricted compiler configuration. Any registered user able to create and run a Groovy test step can invoke Java APIs and execute commands with the sonic-agent process's privileges.
