{"id":"GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w","summary":"rage vulnerable to malicious plugin names, recipients, or identities causing arbitrary binary execution","details":"A plugin name containing a path separator may allow an attacker to execute an arbitrary binary.\n\nSuch a plugin name can be provided to the `rage` CLI through an attacker-controlled recipient or identity string, or to the following `age` APIs when the `plugin` feature flag is enabled:\n- [`age::plugin::Identity::from_str`](https://docs.rs/age/0.11.0/age/plugin/struct.Identity.html#impl-FromStr-for-Identity) (or equivalently [`str::parse::\u003cage::plugin::Identity\u003e()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/core/primitive.str.html#method.parse))\n- [`age::plugin::Identity::default_for_plugin`](https://docs.rs/age/0.11.0/age/plugin/struct.Identity.html#method.default_for_plugin)\n- [`age::plugin::IdentityPluginV1::new`](https://docs.rs/age/0.11.0/age/plugin/struct.IdentityPluginV1.html#method.new)\n- [`age::plugin::Recipient::from_str`](https://docs.rs/age/0.11.0/age/plugin/struct.Recipient.html#impl-FromStr-for-Recipient) (or equivalently [`str::parse::\u003cage::plugin::Recipient\u003e()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/core/primitive.str.html#method.parse))\n- [`age::plugin::RecipientPluginV1::new`](https://docs.rs/age/0.11.0/age/plugin/struct.RecipientPluginV1.html#method.new)\n\nOn UNIX systems, a directory matching `age-plugin-*` needs to exist in the working directory for the attack to succeed.\n\nThe binary is executed with a single flag, either `--age-plugin=recipient-v1` or `--age-plugin=identity-v1`. The standard input includes the recipient or identity string,  and the random file key (if encrypting) or the header of the file (if decrypting). The format is constrained by the [age-plugin](https://c2sp.org/age-plugin) protocol.\n\nAn equivalent issue was fixed in [the reference Go implementation of age](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age), see advisory [GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age/security/advisories/GHSA-32gq-x56h-299c).\n\nThanks to ⬡-49016 for reporting this issue.","aliases":["RUSTSEC-2024-0432","RUSTSEC-2024-0433"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:21.295792603Z","published":"2024-12-18T18:21:55Z","related":["CVE-2024-56327"],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-25"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-12-18T18:21:55Z","nvd_published_at":null},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage/security/advisories/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage/commit/703152ecfa86f27952a35b57dd525ed39396a227"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/str4d/rage"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0432.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0433.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rage","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/rage"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.6.0"},{"fixed":"0.6.1"}]}],"versions":["0.6.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"age","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/age"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.6.0"},{"fixed":"0.6.1"}]}],"versions":["0.6.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"age","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/age"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.7.0"},{"fixed":"0.7.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"age","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/age"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.8.0"},{"fixed":"0.8.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"age","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/age"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.9.0"},{"fixed":"0.9.3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"age","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/age"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.10.0"},{"fixed":"0.10.1"}]}],"versions":["0.10.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"age","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/age"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.11.0"},{"fixed":"0.11.1"}]}],"versions":["0.11.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rage","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/rage"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.7.0"},{"fixed":"0.7.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rage","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/rage"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.8.0"},{"fixed":"0.8.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rage","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/rage"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.9.0"},{"fixed":"0.9.3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rage","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/rage"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.10.0"},{"fixed":"0.10.1"}]}],"versions":["0.10.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rage","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/rage"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0.11.0"},{"fixed":"0.11.1"}]}],"versions":["0.11.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/12/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w/GHSA-4fg7-vxc8-qx5w.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
