Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
Looking Glass is a modern, stateless network-diagnostic platform - a single self-contained Go binary that fronts a fleet of routers over SSH and exposes ping / traceroute / BGP lookups through a gRPC (ConnectRPC) API, an embedded SvelteKit web UI, and a lg-cli client. Prior to version 1.3.5, there is an OS Command Injection vulnerability resulting from an unanchored regular expression in the input validation layer. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.5.
AnalysisAI
Remote OS command injection in AS203038 Looking Glass before 1.3.5 lets remote attackers inject shell commands through the ping/traceroute/BGP diagnostic inputs. The root cause is an unanchored regular expression in the input-validation layer that fails to bind matching to the full input, allowing malicious payloads to slip past validation and reach an underlying command. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reach to the Looking Glass diagnostic interface (gRPC/ConnectRPC API, SvelteKit web UI, or lg-cli endpoint) on a version prior to 1.3.5, and the ability to submit a ping/traceroute/BGP lookup request. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.8) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw with full CIA impact - consistent with command injection on a host that fronts routers. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Looking Glass 1.3.5, which corrects the unanchored regular expression in the input-validation layer (advisory GHSA-8hgf-p844-425m; release https://github.com/AS203038/looking-glass/releases/tag/1.3.5). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
