A flaw has been found in boazsegev facil.io up to 0.7.4. Affected is the function websocket_on_protocol_error in the library lib/facil/http/parsers/websocket_parser.h of the component WebSocket Frame Parser. This manipulation of the argument on_message causes improper input validation. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read some data, alter some data and degrade the service.
- Weakness
- The application accepts input without checking it, opening the door to unintended behaviour.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
