CVE-2026-8467 Details
Description
Code Injection vulnerability in phenixdigital phoenix_storybook allows unauthenticated remote code execution via unsanitized attribute value interpolation in HEEx template generation. The psb-assign WebSocket event handler in 'Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Story.PlaygroundPreviewLive':handle_event/3 accepts arbitrary attribute names and values from unauthenticated clients. These values are passed to 'Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Helpers.ExtraAssignsHelpers':handle_set_variation_assign/3, which stores them verbatim. When rendering, 'Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Rendering.ComponentRenderer':attributes_markup/1 interpolates binary attribute values directly into a HEEx template string as name="<val>" without escaping double quotes or HEEx expression delimiters. An attacker can supply a value containing a closing quote followed by a HEEx expression block (e.g. foo" injected={EXPR} bar="), which causes EXPR to be treated as an inline Elixir expression. The resulting template is compiled via EEx.compile_string/2 and executed via Code.eval_quoted_with_env/3 with full Kernel imports and no sandbox, giving the attacker arbitrary code execution on the server. This issue affects phoenix_storybook from 0.5.0 before 1.1.0.
A code injection vulnerability has been identified in Phenixdigital's Phoenix Storybook, specifically in versions 0.5.0 prior to 1.1.0. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution through unsanitized attribute value interpolation in HEEx template generation. The issue arises in the 'Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Story.PlaygroundPreviewLive' WebSocket event handler, which accepts arbitrary attribute names and values from unauthenticated clients. These values are stored verbatim and later interpolated into a HEEx template string without proper escaping. An attacker can exploit this by injecting a closing quote followed by a HEEx expression block, causing the injected expression to be executed as Elixir code. The compiled code is executed with full access to the Elixir Kernel, without any sandboxing, leading to arbitrary code execution on the server.
Users can upgrade to Phoenix Storybook version 1.1.0 or later to address this vulnerability.
