CVE-2023-48022 enables remote arbitrary code execution through an accessible, unauthenticated Ray Job Submission API. Ray 2.6.3 and 2.8.0 are explicitly identified as affected; additional reporting describes affected versions through 2.49.2. Attackers can submit jobs that execute arbitrary commands and Python code and abuse Ray orchestration to distribute malicious workloads across cluster nodes. Anyscale disputes the vulnerability classification because Ray is designed to execute trusted code within a strictly controlled network environment. Ray 2.52.0 and later offer optional token authentication, rather than a conventional patch for this issue.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/ray_agent_job_rce.rb) that exploits a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Ray agent (CVE-2023-48022). The exploit targets the job submission HTTP API endpoints (/api/jobs/ and /api/job_agent/jobs/) on the default port 8265, which by default are unauthenticated. The module checks the Ray version via /api/version and only proceeds if the version is <= 2.6.3. It supports multiple Linux architectures and can deliver both direct command execution and staged payloads (such as Meterpreter reverse shells) using the CmdStager functionality. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and allows for flexible payload delivery. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring access to the Ray agent's HTTP API. The repository is well-structured, with clear separation of functionality for version checking, job submission, and payload delivery.
This repository provides a weaponized exploit for CVE-2023-48022, a remote command execution vulnerability in the Ray framework (version 2.8.0). The exploit targets Ray's job submission API, which by default is unauthenticated and allows remote attackers to submit arbitrary jobs for execution. The repository contains two main exploit files: a Python script (exploit.py) for direct exploitation and a Metasploit module (ray_job_rce.rb) for integration with the Metasploit framework. The Python script allows users to specify a target Ray cluster and a command to execute, submitting the job via the Ray JobSubmissionClient. The Metasploit module automates exploitation, supporting both custom command execution and reverse shell payloads, and targets the '/api/jobs/' and '/api/job_agent/jobs/' endpoints. The README provides detailed usage instructions for both approaches. The exploit is operational and weaponized, enabling remote, unauthenticated code execution on vulnerable Ray clusters accessible over the network.

A CVE identifier mentioned without any accompanying technical details or stated relationship to the primary Ray vulnerability.
Unauthenticated code execution through the Ray Jobs API, rated CVSS 9.8 in the content. Internet-exposed Ray dashboards allow attackers to submit arbitrary Python jobs, compromise cluster resources, and access credentials and data. The article reports exploitation by IronErn440's self-propagating ShadowRay 2.0 botnet for cryptomining, DDoS, and data theft. It lists affected Ray versions through 2.49.2 and states that the vendor disputes the vulnerability and has not issued a conventional patch; optional token authentication is available starting with Ray 2.52.0.
