Apache CXF JMX Integration is vulnerable to a MITM attack
CVE-2020-1954 · GHSA-ffm7-7r8g-77xm
- Affected
- Maven org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-management < 3.2.13; >= 3.3.0, < 3.3.6
- Fixed in
- 3.2.133.3.6· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Apache CXF has the ability to integrate with JMX by registering an InstrumentationManager extension with the CXF bus. If the createMBServerConnectorFactory property of the default InstrumentationManagerImpl is not disabled, then it is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle (MITM) style attack. An attacker on the same host can connect to the registry and rebind the entry to another server, thus acting as a proxy to the original. They are then able to gain access to all of the information that is sent and received over JMX.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.3.6 or 3.2.13 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
