CVE-2022-31020: Remote code execution in Indy's NODE_UPGRADE transaction
First published: Fri Sep 02 2022(Updated: )
### Impact The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node `<=1.12.4` allows an improperly authenticated attacker to remotely execute code on nodes within the network. Network operators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Indy-Node release `>=1.12.5` as soon as possible. ### Patches The `pool-upgrade` request handler in Indy-Node `>=1.12.5` has been updated to properly authenticate `pool-upgrade` transactions before any processing is performed by the request handler. The transactions are further sanitized to prevent remote code execution. ### Mitigations Network operators are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest Indy-Node release `>=1.12.5` as soon as possible. ### Acknowledgements Thank you to @shakreiner at CyberArk Labs for finding and responsibly disclosing this issue.
