Title
Looking Glass: Remote Code Execution via Unanchored Regular Expression in BGPASPath Input Validation
Summary
Looking Glass is a modern, stateless network-diagnostic platform — a single self-contained Go binary that fronts a fleet of routers over SSH and exposes ping / traceroute / BGP lookups through a gRPC (ConnectRPC) API, an embedded SvelteKit web UI, and a lg-cli client. Prior to version 1.3.5, there is an OS Command Injection vulnerability resulting from an unanchored regular expression in the input validation layer. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.5.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
