Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this issue?

An attacker must be authenticated to Octopus Server and have permission to edit an Environment or Project. Users without those permissions are not identified as able to exploit the issue.

2

What level of access could successful exploitation provide?

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution in the Octopus Server process. The resulting access level is tied to the privileges and environment of that server process.

3

What attacker-controlled input is involved?

The attacker sets specifically crafted JSON content on an Environment or Project object. The server insecurely deserializes that content.
