Critical Vulnerability in NestJS Devtools: Localhost RCE via Sandbox Escape
A flawed sandbox in @nestjs/devtools-integration lets attackers run code on your machine via CSRF, leading to full Remote Code Execution (RCE).
This Python utility streamlines the integration of Localstack, a local AWS cloud services mock, with unit tests. Seamlessly incorporate Localstack into your Python projects to facilitate efficient and reliable testing of AWS interactions within a controlled local environment. Enhance the development process by utilizing this utility to simulate AWS services during unit testing, ensuring robust and dependable code before deployment.
pip install localstack-utils
import time
import boto3
import unittest
from localstack_utils.localstack import startup_localstack, stop_localstack
class TestKinesis(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
startup_localstack()
def tearDown(self):
stop_localstack()
return super().tearDown()
def test_create_stream(self):
kinesis = boto3.client(
service_name="kinesis",
aws_access_key_id="test",
aws_secret_access_key="test",
endpoint_url="http://localhost:4566",
)
kinesis.create_stream(StreamName="test", ShardCount=1)
time.sleep(1)
response = kinesis.list_streams()
self.assertGreater(len(response.get("StreamNames", [])), 0)
