AhsayCBS UpdateReceivers.do OS command injection (CVE-2026-105134)

Source and API bundle

cve.now entry.

Eden terminates the HTTP connection to the affected product, evaluates a declarative policy and — in tier 2 — a separately compiled native Rust module under signed module authority, before any byte reaches the application. It does not patch the affected component; the vendor's fixed release remains the durable repair.

Status: live two-tier remediation recorded 2026-11-11 on the installed eden-product-release:1.103.0-single lab container (image sha256:809293e1f0b525ac04698d1fa8d7ffdc66cbee1ff690b082ba26b4d050f08416). The module is a shell-metacharacter blocklist — encodings and other injection forms are out of scope and the rule is stated as partial.

The vulnerability

AhsayCBS UpdateReceivers.do OS command injection — receiver fields reach a shell. CVSS 10.0; earlier hotfixes incomplete.

The Eden patch

Tier 1 — declarative policy (blunt, fail-closed): deny on the affected route family — takes the whole surface offline, legitimate calls included.

Tier 2 — native module: gabriel_ahsaycmd_v1, binary SHA-256 b21f1a878a548256aab51792df9163fe149ddb99de0add9fdf13ad2a71cda0f7 (source f31b514a40a02d2cae576f14c39ebf8b9d43242008e655d0d57a680008424f4d). See the comparison table for what it keys, and the honest scope for what it cannot.

Performance trace (Eden telemetry, live 2026-11-11)

Measured with Eden's built-in request telemetry (gateway.request.baseline spans, read back through /api/v1/analytics/telemetry?signal=traces), not client wall-clock. Latency Eden introduces per remediation arm for this case:

Armnmeanp50p95min–max
Tier 1 — declarative policy, blocked request (403)1529 µs23 µs59 µs16 µs–59 µs
Tier 2 — native module, benign passes through (200)21425 µs396 µs607 µs326 µs–724 µs
Tier 2 — native module, attack refused (403)14148 µs135 µs231 µs116 µs–231 µs

Eden-added latency for the tier-2 remediation: benign requests complete in 425 µs mean (p50 396 µs, p95 607 µs) in-product, module evaluation included. Honest scope: lab fixtures on one host, fresh connection per measured request, warm requests only; module reactivated shards 2/2 with a fresh signed statement per measurement; spans carry the full authority lineage (module SHA-256, operation, publication). Not the EDEN-3640 performance qualification contract.

Tested against: eden-product-release:1.103.0-single (image sha256:809293e1f0b525ac…, build target eden_service_single, tooling revision 81a0724a…). Raw data: module2/telemetry-ab/ahsaycmd-telemetry.json and module2/tier1-ab/ahsaycmd-tier1.json.

Authority lifecycle and negatives

Driven through the full signed lifecycle (module2/evidence/ahsaycmd-module.json): enroll_key (Ed25519 public key), independent-host inventory, inspect (bindings derived without mapping code), host approve, signed admit (prepared, serving_now: false), activate — receipt serving_now: true, applied_shards == expected_shards (2/2). Negatives held: read-only inspect -> 403, tampered statement binding -> 400, flipped signature bit -> 403. revoke failed the interlay closed (503, nothing forwarded, zero backend effects) and a fresh host approval plus a newly signed activation restored the module's behavior.

Honest scope

The fixture replicates the delivery shape and exploit prerequisite with a harmless marker effect; no real vendor component runs here. The module keys only the primitive listed above — bypass variants (encodings, alternate routes, crafted members other than the one keyed) are not bypass-tested and are out of scope; the rule is a lab-grade partial by construction. The vendor's fixed release remains the durable repair. Perf: request-path A/B not re-run for this batch (see README); activation telemetry measured ~0.14 s one-time load.

Cost record (per-CVE ledger)

$0.0789 USD (marginal session growth: 1,128,044 in + 46 out tokens, 3 turns; shared debug windows overlap).

The recorded attack_cmd_injection request returned 200 at baseline and 403 with the native module active. The case examines AhsayCBS UpdateReceivers.do OS command injection using an Eden gateway and a purpose-built fixture; it did not run the vendor application.

The vulnerability and the test boundary

AhsayCBS UpdateReceivers.do OS command injection: receiver fields reach a shell. CVSS 10.0; earlier hotfixes incomplete.

The application behavior in this experiment was modeled by a purpose-built fixture. Backend markers in the comparison record the fixture’s effects; they do not mean the vendor application was run.

The broad policy and its tradeoff

The first approach was a declarative deny on the affected route family. It removed access to that surface while active, including legitimate requests. The table below shows the effect on the particular controls included in the experiment.

The case record describes this action but does not retain the complete deployed settings or API request. The exact historical policy cannot be reconstructed from the available record.

The native module

Tier 2: native module: gabriel_ahsaycmd_v1. See the comparison table for what it keys, and the honest scope for what it cannot.

The available source declares the following route or matching constants: const ROUTE: &[u8] = b"/cb5/UpdateReceivers.do"; static NEEDLES: [&[u8]; 3] = [b"", b"$(", b"; rm "];. These are literal source declarations; the complete evaluation code below determines how they are used.

The evaluator extracts the request target from the request line and continues immediately when the target does not begin with its route prefix. For an in-scope request it waits for a complete message and obtains the body through the request API before evaluating the bytes. The refusal predicate checks whether any listed byte sequence appears in the body using a case-sensitive substring scan. Unlisted representations are not covered by that predicate.

Why the matching logic matters

The receiver update is the point where the source describes attacker-controlled values reaching a shell. The module intercepts selected command-substitution and command-separator strings in that request body before the fixture receives them. It does not parse shell syntax or establish that all possible shell metacharacters and encodings are covered.

The before-and-after experiment

ProbeBaseline (unprotected)Tier 1Tier 2 (module)
benign_receiver_update200403200
attack_cmd_injection200 (os_command ×1)403403

For the attack_cmd_injection probe, the recorded response changed from 200 at baseline to 403 with the module active. The baseline fixture also recorded os_command; that marker is a simulated backend effect. The benign_receiver_update control returned 200 both before and with the module, while the broader tier-one deny returned 403 for that same control. This comparison describes the listed requests, not a complete test of application behavior.

The case records enrollment, inspection, host approval, signed admission and activation. The activation receipt reported 2/2 local shards serving. The recorded negative tests rejected unauthorized inspection, a changed binding and an invalid signature; revocation produced fail-closed 503 responses. These observations concern the local test, not production deployment.

What the evidence does and does not establish

This experiment covers the recorded fixture requests and the selected Eden boundary. It does not validate every request variant, a real vendor installation, other traffic paths, or production performance. Use the vendor’s fixed release and advisory for the durable repair.
