A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of EdgeConnect SD-WAN Orchestrator could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a server-side prototype pollution attack. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system leading to complete system compromise.

Weakness

The product receives input from an upstream component that specifies attributes that are to be initialized or updated in an object, but it does not properly control modifications of attributes of the object prototype.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Edgeconnect_sd-wan_orchestrator Arubanetworks 9.1.0 (including) 9.1.10 (excluding)
Edgeconnect_sd-wan_orchestrator Arubanetworks 9.2.0 (including) 9.2.10 (excluding)
Edgeconnect_sd-wan_orchestrator Arubanetworks 9.3.0 (including) 9.3.3 (excluding)
Edgeconnect_sd-wan_orchestrator Arubanetworks 9.4.0 (including) 9.4.2 (excluding)

Extended Description

By adding or modifying attributes of an object prototype, it is possible to create attributes that exist on every object, or replace critical attributes with malicious ones. This can be problematic if the product depends on existence or non-existence of certain attributes, or uses pre-defined attributes of object prototype (such as hasOwnProperty, toString or valueOf). This weakness is usually exploited by using a special attribute of objects called proto, constructor or prototype. Such attributes give access to the object prototype. This weakness is often found in code that assigns object attributes based on user input, or merges or clones objects recursively.
