Issue/Introduction

The following 4 critical and high vulnerabilities were identified from the scan of the RemoteCacheAssertion-1.5.0.aar assertion:

spring-web-5.2.5.RELEASE.jar

  • Vulnerability: a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue if used for Java deserialization of untrusted data.
  • Vulnerable class: HttpInvokerServiceExporter.class

shiro-core-1.6.0.jar

  • Vulnerability: when using Apache Shiro with Spring, a specially crafted HTTP request may cause an authentication bypass
  • Vulnerable class: AntPathMatcher.class

jackson-databind-2.10.1.jar

  • Vulnerability: Jackson Databind does not have entity expansion secured properly. This flaw allows vulnerability to XML external entity (XXE) attacks.
  • Vulnerable class: DOMDeserializer.class

commons-io-2.6.jar

  • Vulnerability: FilenameUtils.class improperly verifies the hostname value received from user input before processing client requests. An attacker could abuse this behavior by crafting a special payload containing unexpected characters that could allow access to unintended resources.
  • Vulnerable class: FilenameUtils.class

 

Environment

Release : 10.0

Component : API GATEWAY

Resolution

1. Gateway is not vulnerable to these CVEs as geode-core and its dependent libraries are not used when the backend cache is Redis.

All other libraries are dependent libraries of geode-core
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.geode/geode-core/1.3.0

  • geode-core-1.13.0
  • shiro-core-1.6.0
  • commons-beanutils-1.9.4
  • commons-io-2.8
  • jackson-databind-2.11.3
  • jgroups-5.0.4.Final

 

2. About Spring vulnerability: Layer7 Gateway does not use WAR packaging and spring’s parameter binding feature, with the available details so far this vulnerability does not apply to Gateway i.e. Gateway is Not vulnerable.
