GHSA-4mq4-7rw3-vm5jHighCVSS 8.4
Wasmer filesystem sandbox not enforced
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Summary
As of Wasmer version v4.2.3, Wasm programs can access the filesystem outside of the sandbox.
Details
https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/4267
PoC
A minimal Rust program:
fn main() {
let f = std::fs::OpenOptions::new()
.write(true)
.create_new(true)
.open("abc")
.unwrap();
}
This should be compiled with cargo build --target wasm32-wasi. The compiled program, when run with wasmer WITHOUT --dir, can still create a file in the working directory.
Impact
Service providers running untrusted Wasm code on Wasmer can unexpectedly expose the host filesystem.
