Vulnerability details

In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0.1, the `run_tool` command exposes classes in the `water.tools` package through the `ast` parser. This includes the `XGBoostLibExtractTool` class, which can be exploited to shut down the server and write large files to arbitrary directories, leading to…

Why these techniques?

Vulnerability in run_tool enables remote code execution via AST parser to exploit XGBoostLibExtractTool for server shutdown (T1529) and arbitrary large file writes causing disk exhaustion DoS (T1499.004), facilitated by exploitation of remote service (T1210).

Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

SC-34 Non-modifiable Executable Programs
addresses: CWE-94

Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.

SC-44 Detonation Chambers
addresses: CWE-94

Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.

SI-10 Information Input Validation
addresses: CWE-94

Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.

SI-16 Memory Protection
addresses: CWE-94

Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
