CVE-2022-24715: Arbitrary code execution for authenticated users in Icinga Web 2

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 39/100)

Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB, GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 14.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 96.6% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: icingaweb2 (Debian:12) 2.9.6-1; icingaweb2 (openSUSE:Leap 15.3) 2.8.6-bp153.2.3.1; icingaweb2 (SUSE:Package Hub 12) 2.8.6-15.1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to icingaweb2 (Debian:12) 2.9.6-1; icingaweb2 (openSUSE:Leap 15.3) 2.8.6-bp153.2.3.1; icingaweb2 (SUSE:Package Hub 12) 2.8.6-15.1 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Icinga Web 2 is an open source monitoring web interface, framework and command-line interface. Authenticated users, with access to the configuration, can create SSH resource files in unintended directories, leading to the execution of arbitrary code. This issue has been resolved in versions 2.8.6, 2.9.6 and 2.10 of Icinga Web 2. Users unable to upgrade should limit access to the Icinga Web 2 configuration.

Root cause

A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.
