CVE-2022-36038

CircuitVerse is an open-source platform which allows users to construct digital logic circuits online. A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in CircuitVerse allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted JSON payloads. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE). A patch is available in commit number 7b3023a99499a7675f10f2c1d9effdf10c35fb6e. There are currently no known workarounds.

Weakness

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

Affected Software

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.
