Summary

SENAITE.CORE, the core framework for the SENAITE laboratory information management system, contains a vulnerability allowing unauthenticated remote code execution. Missing authorization in JSON API routes and unsafe use of eval() on input data enable an attacker to execute arbitrary Python code.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can access laboratory data, files, and accounts, and disrupt the service, potentially leading to confidentiality and integrity breaches.

Recommendation

Update SENAITE.CORE to version 2.6.1 or later if available, and apply security fixes for JSON API routes and input validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

SENAITE.CORE is the core framework for the SENAITE laboratory information management system. From 2.0.0 to 2.6.0, the SENAITE.CORE JSON API permits unauthenticated remote code execution through a two-request chain involving missing authorization and unsafe evaluation. The state-changing routes in src/bika/lims/jsonapi/update.py, including update, update_many, remove, doActionFor, doActionFor_many, and getusers, do not enforce the senaite.core: Access JSON API permission before resolving attacker-selected objects. In src/bika/lims/jsonapi/init.py, set_fields_from_request passes raw request values for RecordsField and RecordField instances to eval() before field mutator write-permission checks execute. An anonymous attacker can discover the bika_setup object identifier through @@uuid, send a value such as RejectionReasons to /@@API/update, and execute arbitrary Python in the Zope worker before a later mutation failure rolls back ZODB changes. The same unsafe evaluation pattern is present in src/senaite/core/browser/fields/record.py and src/senaite/core/browser/fields/records.py. Successful exploitation can expose or modify laboratory data, files, and accounts and can disrupt the service.
