FKIE_CVE-2025-54782

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-08-02 00:15 - Updated: 2025-10-09 17:31
Severity ?
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Nest is a framework for building scalable Node.js server-side applications. In versions 0.2.0 and below, a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was discovered in the @nestjs/devtools-integration package. When enabled, the package exposes a local development HTTP server with an API endpoint that uses an unsafe JavaScript sandbox (safe-eval-like implementation). Due to improper sandboxing and missing cross-origin protections, any malicious website visited by a developer can execute arbitrary code on their local machine. The package adds HTTP endpoints to a locally running NestJS development server. One of these endpoints, /inspector/graph/interact, accepts JSON input containing a code field and executes the provided code in a Node.js vm.runInNewContext sandbox. This is fixed in version 0.2.1.

En las versiones 0.2.0 y anteriores, se descubri\u00f3 una vulnerabilidad cr\u00edtica de Ejecuci\u00f3n Remota de C\u00f3digo (RCE) en el paquete @nestjs/devtools-integration. Al habilitarse, el paquete expone un servidor HTTP de desarrollo local con un endpoint de API que utiliza un entorno de pruebas de JavaScript inseguro (implementaci\u00f3n similar a la de evaluaci\u00f3n segura). Debido a un entorno de pruebas inadecuado y a la falta de protecciones entre or\u00edgenes, cualquier sitio web malicioso visitado por un desarrollador puede ejecutar c\u00f3digo arbitrario en su equipo local. El paquete a\u00f1ade endpoints HTTP a un servidor de desarrollo NestJS que se ejecuta localmente. Uno de estos endpoints, /inspector/graph/interact, acepta una entrada JSON que contiene un campo de c\u00f3digo y ejecuta el c\u00f3digo proporcionado en un entorno de pruebas vm.runInNewContext de Node.js.
