CVE-2024-28185
CVSS 3.1 Score 10.0 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-28185 is a critical vulnerability that affects Judge0, an open-source online code execution system. The vulnerability allows an attacker to write to arbitrary files and gain code execution outside of the sandbox by leveraging symlinks placed inside the sandbox directory. When executing a submission, Judge0 writes a `run_script` to the sandbox directory. By creating a symbolic link (symlink) at the path `run_script` before the code is executed, an attacker can overwrite scripts on the system and execute arbitrary code outside of the sandbox. This poses a high risk to organizations as it can lead to unauthorized access and compromise of sensitive data. To remediate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update Judge0 to a patched version that addresses this issue.
