Summary

Apache Flume vulnerable to remote code execution via deserialization of unsafe providerURL

Details

Flume’s JMSSource class can be configured with a providerUrl parameter. A JNDI lookup is performed on this name without performing validation. This could result in untrusted data being deserialized, leading to remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JMS Source with an unsafe providerURL. This issue is fixed in version 1.11.0.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

CVE-2022-42468 (GCVE-0-2022-42468)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-10-26 00:00 – Updated: 2025-05-07 13:53

Title

Apache Flume prior to 1.11.0 has an Improper Input Validation (JNDI Injection) in JMSSource

Summary

Apache Flume versions 1.4.0 through 1.10.1 are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JMS Source with an unsafe providerURL. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI to allow only the use of the java protocol or no protocol.

Severity

9.8 (Critical)
