DescriptionCVE.org

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. From 4.0.0 until 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta2, AffectedItemsWazuhResult.merge() in framework/wazuh/core/results.py trusts the sort_casting field in a cluster worker's JSON response. During a distributed API merge, attacker-controlled type names are resolved through Python builtins without an allowlist. A compromised worker can set sort_casting to exec and place Python source in affected_items, causing the master to execute the payload as root when responses from multiple nodes are merged. This issue is fixed in versions 4.14.6 and 5.0.0-beta2.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution on the Wazuh cluster master node is achievable by any attacker who controls a cluster worker node, exploiting unsafe Python builtin resolution in the distributed API merge path. Affected versions span 4.0.0 through 4.14.5 and 5.0.0-beta1; the vulnerable code in framework/wazuh/core/results.py called getattr(builtins, type_) with attacker-supplied strings from worker JSON responses, enabling exec or eval injection. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Compromise Wazuh cluster worker node
Delivery
Craft JSON response with sort_casting set to exec
Exploit
Embed Python payload in affected_items field
Execution
Trigger distributed API request across cluster nodes
Persist
Master deserializes worker response and calls getattr(builtins, 'exec')
Impact
Payload executes as root on master node

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires prior compromise of at least one Wazuh cluster worker node - either through a separate vulnerability, stolen credentials, or insider access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.4 score with AV:A/PR:H accurately captures the real-world attack profile: exploitation requires the attacker to already control a cluster worker node, limiting the attack surface to clustered Wazuh deployments only - standalone installations are entirely unaffected. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has compromised a Wazuh cluster worker node crafts a malicious API response with sort_casting set to ["exec"] and Python reverse-shell or backdoor code placed in the affected_items array. When the Wazuh master node processes the next distributed API request that triggers a multi-node merge, it resolves exec through getattr(builtins, 'exec') and calls it with the attacker's payload, executing arbitrary code as root on the master. …
Remediation Upgrade to Wazuh 4.14.6 (https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/releases/tag/v4.14.6) or 5.0.0-beta2 (https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/releases/tag/v5.0.0-beta2); these releases introduce a strict sort_casting allowlist validated at both decode and merge stages, confirmed via PR #35757 and commit b29849f8. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Wazuh cluster deployments and affected versions; implement network segmentation to restrict worker-to-master communication and audit access controls for worker node authorization. …
