Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in Open Source Robotics Robot Operating System Indigo Igloo/Kinetic Kame/Melodic Morenia/Noetic Ninjemys. This affects the function eval. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a eval injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-95. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. "eval"). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A code injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rostopic' command-line tool, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier. The vulnerability lies in the 'hz' verb, which reports the publishing rate of a topic and accepts a user-provided Python expression via the --filter option. This input is passed directly to the eval() function without sanitization, allowing a local user to craft and execute arbitrary code.

The weakness was released with Ubuntu Robotics Team. The advisory is shared at ros.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-41148 since 08/01/2024. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 07/18/2025).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at EUVD (EUVD-2024-54798). If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
