Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Budibase is an open-source low-code platform. Prior to version 3.33.4, the bash automation step executes user-provided commands using execSync without proper sanitization or validation. User input is processed through processStringSync which allows template interpolation, potentially allowing arbitrary command execution. This issue has been patched in version 3.33.4.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Budibase low-code platform versions prior to 3.33.4 enables authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands through the bash automation step feature. The vulnerability stems from unsanitized user input processed via template interpolation in execSync calls, allowing command injection with low attack complexity. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the technical details disclosed in the GitHub Security Advisory provide a clear exploitation path for authenticated users with automation privileges.
Technical ContextAI
Budibase is an open-source low-code application development platform (cpe:2.3:a:budibase:budibase) that provides automation capabilities including bash command execution. The vulnerability exists in the bash automation step functionality where user-supplied commands are passed to Node.js execSync without proper input validation. The processStringSync function performs template interpolation on user input before execution, creating a classic command injection vector (CWE-78). This allows attackers to break out of intended command contexts using shell metacharacters and template syntax to inject additional commands. The vulnerability affects the core automation engine that processes workflow definitions, meaning any authenticated user with permissions to create or modify automation workflows can exploit this flaw to achieve arbitrary command execution on the Budibase server with the privileges of the application process.
RemediationAI
Upgrade immediately to Budibase version 3.33.4 or later, which implements proper input sanitization and validation for bash automation steps. The vendor-released patch is available through the official Budibase GitHub repository at https://github.com/Budibase/budibase/releases/tag/3.33.2 (note: verify you deploy 3.33.4 specifically as the description indicates this is the fully patched version). Organizations unable to upgrade immediately should implement compensating controls including restricting automation creation privileges to only highly trusted administrators, implementing audit logging for all automation workflow modifications, and reviewing existing automation workflows for potentially malicious bash commands. Consider disabling the bash automation step feature entirely if not required for business operations until patching is complete. Network segmentation can limit post-exploitation impact by restricting the Budibase server's access to sensitive internal resources. Review security advisory GHSA-gjw9-34gf-rp6m for additional vendor guidance and technical details on the fix implementation.
