DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in Cockpit-HQ Cockpit up to 2.13.5. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the component Asset Handler/Aggregate Handler. The manipulation results in improper neutralization of special elements in data query logic. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

NoSQL injection in Cockpit-HQ Cockpit up to version 2.13.5 allows authenticated remote attackers to manipulate data query logic through the Asset Handler or Aggregate Handler components, resulting in information disclosure with limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vendor has not responded to early disclosure notification.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Successful exploitation requires: (1) an authenticated user account on the Cockpit instance (PR:L in CVSS vector), (2) access to endpoints handled by the Asset Handler or Aggregate Handler components (specific feature condition), (3) a database backend that supports NoSQL operators (MongoDB or compatible), and (4) insufficient input validation on query parameters passed to these handlers. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 5.3 with PR:L (login required) and limited impact scope (VC:L, VI:L, VA:L) indicates moderate risk for authenticated users. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated user with legitimate Cockpit access (obtained via credential theft, social engineering, or default credentials) sends a crafted HTTP request to the Asset Handler or Aggregate Handler endpoint. The request includes a NoSQL injection payload in a query parameter or POST body, such as {$ne: null} or {$regex: '.*'}, which bypasses query filters intended to restrict data visibility. …
Remediation Upgrade Cockpit-HQ Cockpit to version 2.13.6 or later if available; verify patch status on the official GitHub repository (github.com/reusedev/cockpit) or contact the vendor directly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
