alf.io has an Authenticated RCE via Extension Script Sandbox Escape
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 36/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.41% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Get told when this record changes
- Not in KEV: no record of exploitation in the wild
- No public exploit code on record
- No fixed version yet
Follow it and we'll tell you in the daily email digest when the record enters KEV, gets exploit code, is updated (including a fix) or its EPSS rises 20 points in a week. Connect a webhook and KEV listings and weaponized exploits arrive instantly.
Is your version affected? Check italf.io is an open source ticket reservation system for conferences, trade shows, workshops, and meetups. Prior to version 2.0-M5-2606, a sandbox escape vulnerability in the alf.io extension script engine allows an authenticated administrator to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server. The extension system is intended to execute restricted JavaScript in a sandboxed Rhino environment; however, a combination of an unguarded injected Java object (`returnClass`) and an incomplete AST blocklist allows the sandbox to be fully escaped using Java reflection without triggering any validation errors. Version 2.0-M5-2606 patches the issue.
