AI risk analysis

Summary: The flaw allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary Go or Lua scripts server-side, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE). This matters because it can enable attackers to gain full control over the system.
Exploitability: Exploitation is relatively straightforward for authenticated users with access to the rules engine. Precondition is having an account with sufficient permissions.
Blast radius: If exploited, this could lead to complete compromise of the affected IoT infrastructure and potentially other systems connected through network vulnerabilities.
Prioritized remediation: Disable or restrict script execution capabilities in the Rules Engine for non-administrative 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).
