CVE-2020-14000

9.8 criticalEPSS 2.8%

Critical (9.8) in mit scratch-vm. EPSS 2.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in scratch-vm 0.2.0-prerelease.20200714185213.

MIT Lifelong Kindergarten Scratch scratch-vm before 0.2.0-prerelease.20200714185213 loads extension URLs from untrusted project.json files with certain _ characters, resulting in remote code execution because the URL's content is treated as a script and is executed as a worker. The responsible code is getExtensionIdForOpcode in serialization/sb3.js. The use of _ is incompatible with a protection mechanism in older versions, in which URLs were split and consequently deserialization attacks were prevented. NOTE: the scratch.mit.edu hosted service is not affected because of the lack of worker scripts.
