Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2024-28189. PoCs published by Tanto Security, Takahiro Yokoyama, including Metasploit module exploits/linux/http/judge0_sandbox_escape_cve_2024_28189.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a sandbox escape vulnerability in Judge0 by leveraging symlinks to write arbitrary files and achieve remote code execution. It abuses the submission system to manipulate cron jobs and execute payloads outside the sandbox.

Description

Judge0 is an open-source online code execution system. The application uses the UNIX chown command on an untrusted file within the sandbox. An attacker can abuse this by creating a symbolic link (symlink) to a file outside the sandbox, allowing the attacker to run chown on arbitrary files outside of the sandbox. This vulnerability is not impactful on it's own, but it can be used to bypass the patch for CVE-2024-28185 and obtain a complete sandbox escape. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.13.1.
