AI risk analysis
- Summary
- The flaw allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary Lua scripts, leading to remote code execution (RCE) and potential data exfiltration or system compromise.
- Exploitability
- Exploitation is relatively straightforward for authenticated users with access to the rules engine, requiring only the ability to craft and submit Lua scripts.
- Blast radius
- If exploited, the impact could be severe, potentially leading to full control over the affected system and data breaches.
- Detection
- No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
- Prioritized remediation
- Disable the Lua script feature or restrict access to the rules engine to only trusted users.

NVD description
Magistrala's Rules Engine allows authenticated users to create rules with embedded Go or Lua scripts executed server-side when IoT messages arrive. The Lua script engine (re/lua.go) performs no input validation at all and preloads dangerous libraries: db (arbitrary database access), ioutil (file I/O), an HTTP client (SSRF), and filepath (traversal).
