AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately upgrade TinyWeb servers to version 1.98 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, implement network-level controls such as firewall rules to restrict access to the TinyWeb server, limiting exposure to trusted IP addresses only. Disable or restrict CGI ISINDEX functionality if not required, as this is the attack vector. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious query parameters containing shell metacharacters. Conduct thorough audits of all systems running TinyWeb to identify vulnerable instances. Monitor server logs for unusual command execution patterns or unexpected CGI requests. Implement strict input validation and sanitization on any custom CGI scripts or web applications interfacing with TinyWeb. Finally, ensure robust endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions are in place to detect potential exploitation attempts and respond rapidly.

Description

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. TinyWeb HTTP Server before version 1.98 is vulnerable to OS command injection via CGI ISINDEX-style query parameters. The query parameters are passed as command-line arguments to the CGI executable via Windows CreateProcess(). An unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the server by injecting Windows shell metacharacters into HTTP requests. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.98.
