Package

maven Hazelcast Management Center (Maven)

Affected versions

Patched versions

Description

Impact

Among Hazelcast products, only Hazelcast Management Center has Spring dependencies and hence it can be affected.

Other Hazelcast products, such as Hazelcast Platform and IMDG do not use Spring, so they are not affected.

Below are the conditions required for your Hazelcast Management Center setup to be vulnerable:
Running on JDK 9 or higher
Using Apache Tomcat as the Servlet container.
Your application is deployed as a file type WAR.

Patches

Hazelcast Management Center is patched with an emergency release on 04/06/2022 with Management Center version 5.1.2. Users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Workarounds

Until users can upgrade to a patched Management Center version, below mitigations can be applied:
Using JAR or Docker container instead of WAR.
Using Java 8.
Using a servlet container other than Tomcat.
