AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, European organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Run the document-merge-service with the least privileges possible, avoiding root or administrative accounts. 2) Isolate the service in a restricted network segment or container to limit exposure and lateral movement. 3) Employ strict input validation and sanitization on data fed into templates, if possible, to reduce injection risk. 4) Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activity indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected template processing or command execution. 5) Restrict API access to trusted users and systems using strong authentication and network controls. 6) Prepare incident response plans specific to this vulnerability, including rapid containment and forensic analysis. 7) Stay alert for vendor updates or community patches and apply them promptly once available.
Description
Document Merge Service is a document template merge service providing an API to manage templates and merge them with given data. Versions 6.5.1 and prior are vulnerable to remote code execution via server-side template injection which, when executed as root, can result in full takeover of the affected system. As of time of publication, no patched version exists, nor have any known workarounds been disclosed.
