Executive Risk Summary
"The Axon Code command auto-approval module contains an OS Command Injection vulnerability, allowing attackers to bypass whitelist security and achieve arbitrary Remote Code Execution (RCE). This vulnerability stems from the incorrect use of a Unix-based shell-quote library on the Windows platform, coupled with a failure to handle Windows CMD-specific escape sequences."
Anticipated Attack Path
- 1. An attacker constructs a malicious payload using Windows CMD-specific escape sequences to deceive the Axon Code parser.
- 2. The malicious payload is submitted to the command auto-approval module, which misinterprets the payload and auto-approves the command.
- 3. The underlying Windows CMD interpreter executes the malicious command, allowing the attacker to achieve arbitrary RCE.
Am I Vulnerable?
- Is the Axon Code command auto-approval module enabled on your system?
- Are you using a version of Axon Code that is vulnerable to this exploit?
- Have you implemented any additional security measures to mitigate the risk of OS Command Injection attacks?
