No EUVD known-exploited evidence

JumpServer is an open source bastion host and an operation and maintenance security audit system. Prior to 4.10.17, an authenticated administrator with Applet Host management and deployment permissions can inject Jinja2 expressions into the IP/Host field or Core Service Address field, causing Ansible to evaluate ansible_host inventory data or playbook variables during Applet Host deployment and execute arbitrary commands on the JumpServer control node. This issue is fixed in version 4.10.17.

01

What, why and how

JumpServer is an open source bastion host and an operation and maintenance security audit system. Prior to 4.10.17, an authenticated administrator with Applet Host management and deployment permissions can inject Jinja2 expressions into the IP/Host field or Core Service Address field, causing Ansible to evaluate ansible_host inventory data or playbook variables during Applet Host deployment and execute arbitrary commands on the JumpServer control node. This issue is fixed in version 4.10.17.

What

JumpServer is an open source bastion host and an operation and maintenance security audit system. Prior to 4.10.17, an authenticated administrator with Applet Host management and deployment permissions can inject Jinja2 expressions into the IP/Host field or Core Service Address field, causing Ansible to evaluate ansible_host inventory data or playbook variables during Applet Host deployment and execute arbitrary commands on the JumpServer control node. This issue is fixed in version 4.10.17.

Why

The product uses a template engine to insert or process externally-influenced input, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements or syntax that can be interpreted as template expressions or other code directives when processed by the engine.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

CISA Vulnrichment records proof-of-concept exploitation in its SSVC data. BlackTree has not independently executed or validated exploit material.

CWE-1336: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine. The product uses a template engine to insert or process externally-influenced input, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements or syntax that can be interpreted as template expressions or other code directives when processed by the engine.

After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.
