OneUptime has Synthetic Monitor RCE via exposed Playwright browser object

發布日:2026/3/10修改日:2026/3/10

描述

### Summary OneUptime Synthetic Monitors allow a low-privileged authenticated project user to execute arbitrary commands on the `oneuptime-probe` server/container. The root cause is that untrusted Synthetic Monitor code is executed inside Node's `vm` while live host-realm Playwright `browser` and `page` objects are exposed to it. A malicious user can call Playwright APIs on the injected `browser` object and cause the probe to spawn an attacker-controlled executable. This is a server-side remote code execution issue. It does not require a separate `vm` sandbox escape. ## Details A normal project member can create or edit monitors and monitor tests: - `Monitor` access control: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Common/Models/DatabaseModels/Monitor.ts#L45-L70 - `MonitorTest` access control: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Common/Models/DatabaseModels/MonitorTest.ts#L27-L52 The dashboard exposes a Playwright code editor for Synthetic Monitors and allows a user to queue a test run: - Synthetic Monitor editor: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/App/FeatureSet/Dashboard/src/Components/Form/Monitor/MonitorStep.tsx#L260-L289 - `Test Monitor` flow: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/App/FeatureSet/Dashboard/src/Components/Form/Monitor/MonitorTest.tsx#L69-L83 For `MonitorType.SyntheticMonitor`, attacker-controlled `customCode` is passed into `SyntheticMonitor.execute(...)`: - https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Probe/Utils/Monitors/Monitor.ts#L323-L338 `SyntheticMonitor.execute(...)` then calls `VMRunner.runCodeInNodeVM(...)` and injects live Playwright objects into the VM context: - https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Probe/Utils/Monitors/MonitorTypes/SyntheticMonitor.ts#L156-L168 Relevant code path: ```ts result = await VMRunner.runCodeInNodeVM({ code: options.script, options: { timeout: PROBE_SYNTHETIC_MONITOR_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT_IN_MS, args: {}, context: { browser: browserSession.browser, page: browserSession.page, screenSizeType: options.screenSizeType, browserType: options.browserType, }, }, }); ``` `VMRunner.runCodeInNodeVM(...)` wraps host objects in proxies, but it still forwards normal method calls with the real host `this` binding. It only blocks a few property names such as `constructor`, `__proto__`, `prototype`, and `mainModule`: - Blocked properties: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Common/Server/Utils/VM/VMRunner.ts#L20-L25 - Real host `this` binding during method calls: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Common/Server/Utils/VM/VMRunner.ts#L81-L103 - Additional context injection into the VM: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Common/Server/Utils/VM/VMRunner.ts#L388-L395 Because of that, untrusted code can still use legitimate Playwright methods on the injected `browser` object. The probe pins Playwright `1.58.2`: - https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Probe/package-lock.json#L4438-L4459 In that version, `Browser.browserType()` returns a `BrowserType` object, and `BrowserType.launch()` accepts attacker-controlled `executablePath`, `ignoreDefaultArgs`, and `args`. Playwright then passes those values into a child-process spawn path. As a result, a malicious Synthetic Monitor can do this from inside the sandboxed script: ```javascript browser.browserType().launch({ executablePath: "/bin/sh", ignoreDefaultArgs: true, args: ["-c", "id"], }); ``` Even if Playwright later throws because the spawned process is not a real browser, the command has already executed. This execution path is reachable through both one-shot monitor testing and normal scheduled monitor execution: - Monitor tests fetched by the probe: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Probe/Jobs/Monitor/FetchMonitorTest.ts#L55-L85 - Scheduled monitor execution: https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/blob/707bfd62e721a2845ee05b87cb5d3c611bda2276/Probe/Jobs/Monitor/FetchList.ts#L96-L126 This appears distinct from prior `node:vm` breakout issues because the exploit does not need to recover `process` from the VM. The dangerous capability is already exposed by design through the injected Playwright object. ### PoC 1. Log in to the dashboard as a regular project member. 2. Go to `Monitors` -> `Create New Monitor`. 3. Select `Synthetic Monitor`. 4. In the Playwright code field, paste: ```javascript browser.browserType().launch({ executablePath: "/bin/sh", ignoreDefaultArgs: true, args: [ "-c", "id" ], timeout: 1000, }).catch((err) => { console.log(String(err)); }); return { data: { launched: true } }; ``` 5. Select one browser type, for example `Chromium`. 6. Select one screen type, for example `Desktop`. 7. Set retry count to `0`. 8. Click `Test Monitor` and choose any probe. Expected result: - the monitor execution succeeded and in the Show More Details the command output is shown. <img width="1537" height="220" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4fa5b458-cae9-4ec8-add0-bfc288ee7568" /> ### Impact This is a server-side Remote Code Execution issue affecting the probe component. Who is impacted: - any OneUptime deployment where an attacker can obtain ordinary project membership - environments where the probe has access to internal services, secrets, Kubernetes metadata, database credentials, proxy credentials, or other cluster-local trust relationships
