CRITICAL

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

Published October 26, 2022Updated February 16, 2024Source: osv

Summary

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.
