CVE-2025-15246

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through deserialization attacks in aizuda snail-job's API component. It affects macOS users running snail-job versions up to 1.7.0. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed and exploitable without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • aizuda snail-job
Versions: up to 1.7.0
Operating Systems: macOS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Vulnerability is in the FurySerializer.deserialize function of the API component. All installations up to version 1.7.0 are affected.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise, data theft, and lateral movement within the network.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to run arbitrary commands on affected systems, potentially leading to data exfiltration or service disruption.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper network segmentation and access controls prevent external access to vulnerable API endpoints.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote exploitation is possible and the vulnerability affects API endpoints that may be exposed to the internet.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems running vulnerable versions remain at risk from internal threats or compromised endpoints.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Exploit has been publicly disclosed and remote exploitation is possible. The deserialization vulnerability is typically straightforward to exploit.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 1.7.1 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://gitee.com/aizuda/snail-job/issues/ICQV61

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check current version with 'snail-job --version'. 2. Update to version 1.7.1 or later using the official update mechanism. 3. Restart the snail-job service. 4. Verify the update was successful.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Access Restriction

all

Restrict network access to snail-job API endpoints using firewall rules

sudo ufw deny from any to any port 8080
sudo ufw deny from any to any port 8443

Disable Vulnerable API Endpoints

all

Temporarily disable API endpoints that use FurySerializer.deserialize

Edit configuration to disable affected API routes
Set api.enabled=false in config file

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate vulnerable systems
  • Deploy web application firewall (WAF) with deserialization attack detection rules

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if running snail-job version 1.7.0 or earlier: 'snail-job --version' or check package manager

Check Version:

snail-job --version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify version is 1.7.1 or later: 'snail-job --version' should show 1.7.1+

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual API requests to deserialization endpoints
  • Error logs containing deserialization failures
  • Unexpected process spawns from snail-job

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic patterns to snail-job API ports (typically 8080/8443)
  • Malformed serialized objects in HTTP requests

SIEM Query:

source="snail-job" AND (event="deserialize" OR event="FurySerializer") AND status="error"
