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

Critical severity GitHub Reviewed Published Oct 26, 2022 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jul 28, 2023

Package

maven org.apache.flume.flume-ng-sources:flume-jms-source (Maven)

Affected versions

< 1.11.0

Patched versions

1.11.0

Description

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.
