Description

Code Injection vulnerability in phenixdigital phoenix_storybook allows unauthenticated remote code execution via unsanitized attribute value interpolation in HEEx template generation.<br /> <br /> The psb-assign WebSocket event handler in &amp;#39;Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Story.PlaygroundPreviewLive&amp;#39;:handle_event/3 accepts arbitrary attribute names and values from unauthenticated clients. These values are passed to &amp;#39;Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Helpers.ExtraAssignsHelpers&amp;#39;:handle_set_variation_assign/3, which stores them verbatim. When rendering, &amp;#39;Elixir.PhoenixStorybook.Rendering.ComponentRenderer&amp;#39;:attributes_markup/1 interpolates binary attribute values directly into a HEEx template string as name="" 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.<br /> <br /> This issue affects phoenix_storybook from 0.5.0 before 1.1.0.
