### Impact When the built-in SSH server is enabled (`[server] START_SSH_SERVER = true`), unprivileged user accounts with at least one SSH key can execute arbitrary commands on the Gogs instance with the privileges of the user specified by `RUN_USER` in the configuration. It allows attackers to access and alter any users' code hosted on the same instance. ### Patches The `env` command sent to the internal SSH server has been changed to be a passthrough (https://github.com/gogs/gogs/pull/7868), i.e. the feature is effectively removed. Users should upgrade to 0.13.1 or the latest 0.14.0+dev. ### Workarounds [Disable the use of built-in SSH server](https://github.com/gogs/gogs/blob/7adac94f1e93cc5c3545ea31688662dcef9cd737/conf/app.ini#L76-L77) on operating systems other than Windows. ### References https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-39930

This Tech Tip outlines what enterprise defenders need to do to protect their enterprise environment from the new NTLM vulnerability.

### Summary The SSID is not sanitized when before it is passed as a parameter to cmd.exe in the `getWindowsIEEE8021x` function. This means that malicious content in the SSID can be executed as OS commands. ### Details I have exploited this vulnerability in a Windows service using version 5.22.11 of the module, to escalate privileges (in an environment where I am authorized to do so). However, as far as I can see from the code, it is still present in master branch at time of writing, on line [403/404 of network.js](https://github.com/sebhildebrandt/systeminformation/blob/3a92931c7d46605ffddc1aacb97a9727273b2888/lib/network.js#L403). The SSID is obtained from `netsh wlan show interface ...` in `getWindowsWirelessIfaceSSID`, and then passed to `cmd.exe /d /s /c "netsh wlan show profiles ...` in `getWindowsIEEE8021x`, without sanitization. ### PoC First, the command injection payload should be included in the connected Wi-Fi SSID. For example create hotspot on mobile phone or other lap...

While a number of threat groups have used TP-Link bugs to infiltrate networks, a proposed ban of the company's popular routers is more about geopolitics than actual cybersecurity — and that may not be a bad thing.
