AI Analysis

Impact

A crafted payload sent to the UniscriptExecutionService.execute() function in Univer enables attackers to run arbitrary code on the host. The weakness lies in insufficient validation or sanitization, allowing code generation and execution, which qualifies as Command Injection or Improper Control of Code Execution.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Univer version 1.0.0-alpha.2. No vendor name is specified in the available data.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a high risk of exploitation because it permits remote code execution. The CVSS score of 9.8 indicates a critical severity, and the EPSS score is < 1%, indicating a low probability of exploitation at present, while the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Attackers would need to deliver a crafted request to the vulnerable service endpoint, likely over the network, since the service is exposed via the /services/script-execution.service.ts path. Given the nature of the flaw, exploitation could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a fixed version of Univer that eliminates the vulnerability
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, block or restrict network access to the script-execution endpoint so that only trusted hosts can call it
  • Implement strict input validation or sanitize payloads before they reach UniscriptExecutionService.execute()
  • Monitor the system for signs of unauthorized code execution or abnormal process activity
