Description

eKuiper /config/uploads API arbitrary file writing may lead to RCE

Summary

eKuiper /config/uploads API supports accessing remote web URLs and saving files in the local upload directory, but there are no security restrictions, resulting in arbitrary file writing through ../. If run with root privileges, RCE can be achieved by writing crontab files or ssh keys.

Details

```go

func fileUploadHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {

switch r.Method {

// Upload or overwrite a file

case http.MethodPost:

switch r.Header.Get("Content-Type") {

case "application/json":

fc := &fileContent{}

defer r.Body.Close()

err := json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(fc)

if err != nil {

handleError(w, err, "Invalid body: Error decoding file json", logger)

return

}

err = fc.Validate()

if err != nil {

handleError(w, err, "Invalid body: missing necessary field", logger)

return

}

filePath := filepath.Join(uploadDir, fc.Name)

err = upload(fc)

```

  • The fc.Name parameter do not safely filtered.
