LaRecipe is vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection attacks

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Jul 14, 2025 in saleem-hadad/larecipe • Updated Jul 15, 2025

Package

composer binarytorch/larecipe (Composer)

Affected versions

< 2.8.1

Patched versions

2.8.1

Description

Impact

Attackers could:

  1. Execute arbitrary commands on the server
  2. Access sensitive environment variables
  3. Escalate access depending on server configuration

A critical vulnerability was discovered in LaRecipe that allows an attacker to perform Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI), potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in vulnerable configurations.

Patches

Users are strongly advised to upgrade to version v2.8.1 or later.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine

The product uses a template engine to insert or process externally-influenced input, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements or syntax that can be interpreted as template expressions or other code directives when processed by the engine. Learn more on MITRE.
