How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the chat page’s script gadgets of the 5ire application. It allows threat actors to inject malicious content through multiple vectors. These vectors include malicious prompt injection pages, compromised MCP servers, and exploited tool integrations. Once exploited, the attacker could execute arbitrary commands or access sensitive information, leading to a potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a malicious payload. Please note that this is a simplified illustration and not a working exploit.
POST /chat_script_gadget HTTP/1.1
Host: target.5ire.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_payload": "exploit_code_here" }In this example, the attacker sends a POST request to the vulnerable chat script gadget endpoint with a malicious payload. If successful, the attacker can gain unauthorized access or control of the system.
Mitigation Guidance
Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to version 0.14.0 of 5ire, where the vulnerability has been fixed. In cases where an immediate upgrade is not possible, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation measure. However, these are not full-proof solutions, and the upgrade should be carried out as soon as possible to ensure maximum security.
