Pyload log Injection via API /json/add_package in add_name parameter
Summary
A log injection vulnerability was identified in pyload in API /json/add_package. This vulnerability allows user with add packages permission to inject arbitrary messages into the logs gathered by pyload.
Details
pyload will generate a log entry when creating new package using API /json/add_package. This entry will be in the form of Added package 'NAME_OF_PACKAGE' containing 'NUMBER_OF_LINKS' links. However, when supplied with the name of new package containing a newline, this newline is not properly escaped. Newlines are also the delimiter between log entries. This allows the attacker to inject new log entries into the log file.
PoC
Run pyload in the default configuration by running the following command
pyloadWe can now sign in as the pyload user who at least have add packages permissions. In my example, I will use the admin account to demonstrate this vulnerability. Now as an admin user, view the logs at http://localhost:8000/logs

Any attacker who at least have add packages permissions can now make the following request by crafting a python code to inject arbitrary logs.
import requests
session = requests.session()
burp0_url = "http://localhost:8000/json/add_package"
burp0_cookies = {"pyload_session_8000": "SESSION-ID-HERE"}

Impact
Forged or otherwise, corrupted log files can be used to cover an attacker’s tracks or even to implicate another party in the commission of a malicious act.
