Remote Code Execution in Apache Synapse
CVE-2017-15708 · GHSA-p694-23q3-rvrc
- Affected
- Maven org.apache.synapse:synapse-core < 3.0.1
- Fixed in
- 3.0.1· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- In Apache Synapse, by default no authentication is required for Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). So Apache Synapse 3.0.1 or all previous releases (3.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.0.0, 1.2, 1.1.2, 1.1.1) allows remote code execution attacks that can be performed by injecting specially crafted serialized objects. And the presence of Apache Commons Collections 3.2.1 (commons-collections-3.2.1.jar) or previous versions in Synapse distribution makes this exploitable. To mitigate the issue, we need to limit RMI access to trusted users only. Further upgrading to 3.0.1 version will eliminate the risk of having said Commons Collection version. In Synapse 3.0.1, Commons Collection has been updated to 3.2.2 version.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.0.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
