Jose Content No Cache | Up to and including 0.1.3
How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of the improper control of code generation in Jose Content No Cache. This allows an attacker to inject malicious code into the system, which is then executed with the same permissions as the application running the No Cache service. As a result, the attacker can gain unauthorized access to the system, potentially leading to theft of sensitive data or even system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
The following conceptual example demonstrates a hypothetical HTTP request that exploits the CVE-2025-28993 vulnerability.
POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"payload": "{malicious_code}"
}In this example, `{malicious_code}` represents the code injected by the attacker into the system via the payload.
Mitigation Guidance
Given the severity of this vulnerability, immediate action is necessary. Users are advised to apply the patch provided by the vendor as soon as possible. In the meantime, the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can offer a temporary mitigation strategy, helping to block or detect attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, these measures should not be seen as a long-term solution, and the patch should be applied as a matter of urgency.
