Summary

Venice vulnerable to Partial Path Traversal issue within the functions `load-file` and `load-resource`

Details

Impact

A partial path traversal issue exists within the functions load-file and load-resource. These functions can be limited to load files from a list of load paths.

Assuming Venice has been configured with the load paths: [ "/Users/foo/resources" ]

When passing relative paths to these two vulnerable functions everything is fine: (load-resource "test.png") => loads the file "/Users/foo/resources/test.png" (load-resource "../resources-alt/test.png") => rejected, outside the load path

When passing absolute paths to these two vulnerable functions Venice may return files outside the configured load paths: (load-resource "/Users/foo/resources/test.png") => loads the file "/Users/foo/resources/test.png" (load-resource "/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png") => loads the file "/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png" !!! The latter call suffers from the Partial Path Traversal vulnerability.

This issue’s scope is limited to absolute paths whose name prefix matches a load path. E.g. for a load-path "/Users/foo/resources", the actor can cause loading a resource also from "/Users/foo/resources-alt", but not from "/Users/foo/images".

Versions of Venice before and including v1.10.16 are affected by this issue.

Patches

Upgrade to Venice >= 1.10.17, if you are on a version < 1.10.17

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade the library, you can control the functions that can be used in Venice with a sandbox. If it is appropriate, the functions load-file and load-resource can be blacklisted in the sandbox.

Title

Partial Path Traversal in com.github.jlangch:venice

Summary

Venice is a Clojure inspired sandboxed Lisp dialect with excellent Java interoperability. A partial path traversal issue exists within the functions `load-file` and `load-resource`. These functions can be limited to load files from a list of load paths. Assuming Venice has been configured with the load paths: `[ "/Users/foo/resources" ]` When passing **relative** paths to these two vulnerable functions everything is fine: `(load-resource "test.png")` => loads the file "/Users/foo/resources/test.png" `(load-resource "../resources-alt/test.png")` => rejected, outside the load path When passing **absolute** paths to these two vulnerable functions Venice may return files outside the configured load paths: `(load-resource "/Users/foo/resources/test.png")` => loads the file "/Users/foo/resources/test.png" `(load-resource "/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png")` => loads the file "/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png" !!! The latter call suffers from the _Partial Path Traversal_ vulnerability. This issue’s scope is limited to absolute paths whose name prefix matches a load path. E.g. for a load-path `"/Users/foo/resources"`, the actor can cause loading a resource also from `"/Users/foo/resources-alt"`, but not from `"/Users/foo/images"`. Versions of Venice before and including v1.10.17 are affected by this issue. Upgrade to Venice >= 1.10.18, if you are on a version < 1.10.18. There are currently no known workarounds.

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
