CVE-2024-32651
Server Side Template Injection in Jinja2 allows Remote Command Execution
changedetection.io is an open source web page change detection, website watcher, restock monitor and notification service. There is a Server Side Template Injection (SSTI) in Jinja2 that allows Remote Command Execution on the server host. Attackers can run any system command without any restriction and they could use a reverse shell. The impact is critical as the attacker can completely takeover the server machine. This can be reduced if changedetection is behind a login page, but this isn't required by the application (not by default and not enforced).

changedetection.io has a Server Side Template Injection using Jinja2 which allows Remote Command Execution
Summary
A Server Side Template Injection in changedetection.io caused by usage of unsafe functions of Jinja2 allows Remote Command Execution on the server host.
Details
changedetection.io version: 0.45.20
docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
dgtlmoon/changedetection.io latest 53529c2e69f1 44 hours ago 423MB
The vulnerability is caused by the usage of vulnerable functions of Jinja2 template engine.
from jinja2 import Environment, BaseLoader
...
# Get the notification body from datastore
jinja2_env = Environment(loader=BaseLoader)
n_body = jinja2_env.from_string(n_object.get('notification_body', '')).render(**notification_parameters)
n_title = jinja2_env.from_string(n_object.get('notification_title', '')).render(**notification_parameters)
PoC
- Create/Edit a URL watch item
- Under Notifications tab insert this payload:
{{ self.__init__.__globals__.__builtins__.__import__('os').popen('id').read() }}
- See Telegram (or other supported messaging app) notification
Impact
In the PoC I've used id as payload and Telegram to read the result.
Attackers can run any system command without any restriction and they don't need to read the result in the notification app (e.g. they could use a reverse shell).
The impact is critical as the attacker can completely takeover the server host.
This can be reduced if changedetection access is protected by login page with a password, but this isn't required by the application (not by default and not enforced).
