Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Dagu is a workflow engine with a built-in Web user interface. In versions up to and including 1.16.7, the CreateNewDAG API endpoint (POST /api/v1/dags) does not validate the DAG name before passing it to the file store. An authenticated user with DAG write permissions can write arbitrary YAML files anywhere on the filesystem (limited by the process permissions). Since dagu executes DAG files as shell commands, writing a malicious DAG to the DAGs directory of another instance or overwriting config files can lead to remote code execution. Commit e2ed589105d79273e4e6ac8eb31525f765bb3ce4 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file write in Dagu workflow engine up to version 1.16.7 allows authenticated users with DAG write permissions to place malicious YAML files anywhere on the filesystem due to insufficient name validation in the CreateNewDAG API endpoint. Since Dagu executes DAG files as shell commands, an attacker can achieve remote code execution by overwriting existing DAGs or configuration files. …
