Csrf.cs in NancyFX Nancy before 1.4.4 and 2.x before 2.0-dangermouse has Remote Code Execution via Deserialization of JSON data in a CSRF Cookie.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Nancy Nancyfx * 1.4.3 (including)
Nancy Nancyfx 2.0.0-alpha (including) 2.0.0-alpha (including)
Nancy Nancyfx 2.0.0-barneyrubble (including) 2.0.0-barneyrubble (including)
Nancy Nancyfx 2.0.0-clinteastwood (including) 2.0.0-clinteastwood (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
