Indy's NODE_UPGRADE transaction vulnerable to remote code execution
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node `<=1.12.4` allows an improperly authenticated attacker to remotely execute code on nodes within the network.
Network operators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Indy-Node release `>=1.12.5` as soon as possible.
### Patches
The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node `>=1.12.5` has been updated to properly authenticate `pool-upgrade` transactions before any processing is performed by the request handler. The transactions are further sanitized to prevent remote code execution.
### Mitigations
Network operators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Indy-Node release `>=1.12.5` as soon as possible.
