En las versiones 1.11.3 y anteriores, la funcionalidad de middleware en Hoverfly es vulnerable a una vulnerabilidad de inyecci\u00f3n de comandos en el endpoint '/api/v2/hoverfly/middleware' debido a una validaci\u00f3n y sanitizaci\u00f3n insuficientes en la entrada del usuario. La vulnerabilidad existe en el endpoint de la API de gesti\u00f3n de middleware '/api/v2/hoverfly/middleware'. Este problema nace de la combinaci\u00f3n de tres fallos a nivel de c\u00f3digo: Validaci\u00f3n de Entrada Insuficiente en middleware.go l\u00ednea 94-96; Ejecuci\u00f3n de Comandos Insegura en local_middleware.go l\u00ednea 14-19; y Ejecuci\u00f3n Inmediata Durante las Pruebas en hoverfly_service.go l\u00ednea 173. Esto permite a un atacante obtener ejecuci\u00f3n remota de c\u00f3digo (RCE) en cualquier sistema que ejecute el servicio Hoverfly vulnerable. Dado que la entrada se pasa directamente a los comandos del sistema sin las comprobaciones adecuadas, un atacante puede cargar una carga \u00fatil maliciosa o ejecutar directamente comandos arbitrarios (incluyendo shells inversas) en el servidor anfitri\u00f3n con los privilegios del proceso Hoverfly. El commit 17e60a9bc78826deb4b782dca1c1abd3dbe60d40 en la versi\u00f3n 1.12.0 deshabilita la API de configuraci\u00f3n de middleware por defecto, y los cambios posteriores en la documentaci\u00f3n alertan a los usuarios sobre los cambios de seguridad al exponer la API de configuraci\u00f3n de middleware."}], "id": "CVE-2025-54123", "lastModified": "2026-06-17T09:39:29.430", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 9.8, "baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "impactScore": 5.9, "source": "security-advisories@github.com", "type": "Secondary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2025-54123", "options": [{"exploitation": "poc"}, {"automatable": "yes"}, {"technicalImpact": "total"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2025-09-10T18:47:39.102101Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2025-09-10T19:15:41.803", "references": [{"source": "security-advisories@github.com", "tags": ["Product"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/blob/master/core/hoverfly_service.go#L173"}, {"source": "security-advisories@github.com", "tags": ["Product"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/blob/master/core/middleware/local_middleware.go#L13"}, {"source": "security-advisories@github.com", "tags": ["Product"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/blob/master/core/middleware/middleware.go#L93"}, {"source": "security-advisories@github.com", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/commit/17e60a9bc78826deb4b782dca1c1abd3dbe60d40"}, {"source": "security-advisories@github.com", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/commit/a9d4da7bd7269651f54542ab790d0c613d568d3e"}, {"source": "security-advisories@github.com", "tags": ["Exploit", "Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/security/advisories/GHSA-r4h8-hfp2-ggmf"}, {"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "tags": ["Exploit", "Vendor Advisory"], "url": "https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/security/advisories/GHSA-r4h8-hfp2-ggmf"}], "sourceIdentifier": "security-advisories@github.com", "vulnStatus": "Analyzed", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-20"}, {"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-78"}], "source": "security-advisories@github.com", "type": "Secondary"}, {"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-78"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
