The vulnerability, CVE-2024-43115, allows an authenticated user to execute arbitrary shell scripts on the server. The analysis of the patch that fixes this vulnerability points directly to the ScriptSender class in the dolphinscheduler-alert-script plugin. The commit f7358c3e5e94ab9c07c018061fee227267da3c52 introduces a check to validate that the script path ends with .sh. This change is within the executeShellScript method. Before this patch, any file path could be provided, leading to arbitrary file execution. Therefore, the executeShellScript method is the primary vulnerable function. The sendScriptAlert method is also included as it is the public method that orchestrates the alert and calls the vulnerable executeShellScript method, making it a key part of the execution flow during exploitation.
