Assigner: Canonical Ltd.

Description
A code execution vulnerability has been discovered in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rosparam' tool, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier. The vulnerability stems from the use of the eval() function to process unsanitized, user-supplied parameter values via special converters for angle representations in radians. This flaw allowed attackers to craft and execute arbitrary Python code.

CWE ID Description
CWE-94 The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
CWE-95 The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. "eval").

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a code execution flaw in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rosparam' tool. It occurs because the tool uses the eval() function to process user-supplied parameter values without proper sanitization, specifically for angle representations in radians. This allows attackers to craft input that executes arbitrary Python code.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can execute arbitrary Python code on the affected system, potentially leading to full compromise of the system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
