CVE-2026-45579 Details
Description
DIRAC is an interware, meaning a software framework for distributed computing. Prior to versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10, the RequestManagementSystem/Service/ReqManagerHandler.py export_getRequestCountersWeb function passes an authenticated caller-controlled groupingAttribute to RequestManagementSystem/DB/RequestDB.py getRequestCountersWeb. An unrecognized value is resolved against the Request object and evaluated as Python code, allowing a crafted dunder attribute expression to reach operating-system functions and execute commands as the account running the DIRAC services. Successful exploitation can expose dirac.cfg, database passwords, stored proxies, and tokens, fully compromise the DIRAC system, and allow alteration of local log evidence. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in the DIRAC software framework for distributed computing. This issue affects versions prior to 8.0.79, 9.0.22, and 9.1.10. The vulnerability arises in the RequestManagementSystem's ReqManagerHandler.py file, specifically within the export_getRequestCountersWeb function. Here, an authenticated user can manipulate the groupingAttribute parameter, which is then passed to the RequestDB's getRequestCountersWeb function. If the value is unrecognized, it is resolved against the Request object and executed as Python code. This exploitation allows crafted attribute expressions to access operating system functions, executing commands as the user running the DIRAC services. Successful exploitation could lead to a complete compromise of the DIRAC system, including unauthorized access to sensitive configuration files, database credentials, and the ability to manipulate local log records.
Users can upgrade to DIRAC versions 8.0.79, 9.0.22, or 9.1.10 to address this vulnerability.
