CVE-2025-66303

# DOS on the admin panel **Severity Rating:** Medium **Vector:** Denial Of Service **CVE:** XXX **CWE:** 400 - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption **CVSS Score:** 4.9 **CVSS Vector:** CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H ## Analysis A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability has been identified in the application related to the handling of `scheduled_at` parameters. Specifically, the application fails to properly sanitize input for cron expressions. By manipulating the `scheduled_at` parameter with a malicious input, such as a single quote, the application admin panel becomes non-functional, causing significant disruptions to administrative operations. The only way to recover from this issue is to manually access the host server and modify the `backup.yaml` file to correct the corrupted cron expression ## Proof of Concept 1) Change the value of `scheduled_at` parameter to `'` as shown in the following figures at the `http://127.0.0.1/admin/tools` endpoint, and observe the response in the second figure:  *Figure: Http request on tool endpoint*  *Figure: Http response on tool endpoint* 2) When trying to access the admin panel, the panel is broken as shown in the following figure. Additionally, the value change is reflected in the `backup.yaml` file, as shown in the second figure:  *Figure: Error message view*  *Figure: Backup.yaml file* ## Workarounds No workaround is currently known # Timeline **2024-07-24** Issue identified **2024-09-27** Vendor contacted # About X41 D-Sec GmbH X41 is an expert provider for application security services.
