CVE-2022-31140
Valinor error messages leading to potential data exfiltration
Valinor is a PHP library that helps to map any input into a strongly-typed value object structure. Prior to version 0.12.0, Valinor can use Throwable#getMessage() when it should not have permission to do so. This is a problem with cases such as an SQL exception showing an SQL snippet, a database connection exception showing database IP address/username/password, or a timeout detail / out of memory detail. Attackers could use this information for potential data exfiltration, denial of service attacks, enumeration attacks, etc. Version 0.12.0 contains a patch for this vulnerability.

try {
var_dump($mapper->map(Foo::class, [
'a' => 'HAHA',

]));
} catch (MappingError $e) {
$messages = (new NodeTraverser(function (Node $node) {

$message->path(),
$message->body()
]);
}
return '';
}))->traverse($e->node());
iterator_to_array($messages);
}
Now, this is quite innocent: it produces following output:
❯ php value-object-conversion.php
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(8) "$message"
[1]=>
string(1) "a"
[2]=>
string(48) "Given "HAHA" is not a recognized monetary amount"
}
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(8) "$message"
[1]=>
string(1) "c"
[2]=>
string(51) "Given "USD 100" is not a recognized monetary amount"
}
The problem is that nowhere I told valinor that it could use Throwable#getMessage().
This is a problem with cases where you get:
- an SQL exception showing an SQL snippet
- a DB connection exception showing DB ip address/username/password
- a timeout detail / out of memory detail (exploring DDoS possibilities)
This allows for potential data exfiltration, DDoS, enumeration attacks, etc.
