⚠️ Potential issue

The new /api/execute endpoint evaluates user-controlled code directly using eval(), allowing attackers to run arbitrary code on the server without any authentication.

Severity: Critical

Explanation

The /api/execute endpoint, as currently implemented, takes the code property directly from the request body and passes it to the eval() function. The eval() function in JavaScript executes a string as if it were code. Since this endpoint doesn't require authentication and doesn't sanitize the input, an attacker can send a POST request with a malicious code snippet in the request body. This code will then be executed on the server with the same permissions as the Node.js process. For example, an attacker could send { "code": "require('child_process').execSync('rm -rf /')" } to potentially delete files on the server.

To fix this, we need to prevent arbitrary code from being executed. The most straightforward way is to disallow the use of eval() with untrusted input altogether. Instead, if dynamic code execution is truly necessary (which is rare and often a sign of a design flaw), it should be strictly controlled and limited to a predefined, safe set of operations, or refactored to avoid eval completely. In this case, the simplest fix is to remove the problematic endpoint or, at a minimum, ensure it is protected by authentication and sanitization if it must remain.

⚠️ Potential issue

The /api/run/:command route directly executes user input using child_process.exec, allowing attackers to run arbitrary OS commands on the server.

Severity: Critical

Explanation

The main.ts file exposes an endpoint /api/run/:command that takes a command from the URL and passes it directly to child_process.exec. This function interprets the input as a shell command. Because the input comes directly from the request and is not validated or escaped, an attacker can provide malicious input that includes shell metacharacters (like ; or |) to execute unintended commands. For example, if the attacker sends a request like GET /api/run/ls; rm -rf /, the server would first execute ls and then rm -rf /, potentially deleting the entire filesystem.

To fix this, we should avoid passing user-controlled input directly to shell execution functions. A safer approach is to use functions that execute a command with specific arguments, rather than interpreting a string as a command. Alternatively, if shell interpretation is absolutely necessary, the input must be strictly validated against an allowlist of safe commands and arguments.
