Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-04 18:30 – Updated: 2025-06-04 18:30
VLAI
Details

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Unified CCX could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected device. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials. 

This vulnerability is due to insecure deserialization of Java objects by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted Java object to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the underlying operating system of an affected device as a low-privilege user. A successful exploit could also allow the attacker to undertake further actions to elevate their privileges to root.

Summary
Apache NiFi GetAsanaObject Processor has Remote Code Execution via Unsafe Deserialization
Details

Apache NiFi 1.20.0 through 2.6.0 include the GetAsanaObject Processor, which requires integration with a configurable Distribute Map Cache Client Service for storing and retrieving state information. The GetAsanaObject Processor used generic Java Object serialization and deserialization without filtering. Unfiltered Java object deserialization does not provide protection against crafted state information stored in the cache server configured for GetAsanaObject. Exploitation requires an Apache NiFi system running with the GetAsanaObject Processor, and direct access to the configured cache server. Upgrading to Apache NiFi 2.7.0 is the recommended mitigation, which replaces Java Object serialization with JSON serialization. Removing the GetAsanaObject Processor located in the nifi-asana-processors-nar bundle also prevents exploitation.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-01-21 23:25 – Updated: 2022-01-19 16:11
VLAI
Summary
Security Advisory for "Log4Shell"
Details

Impact

A highly critical 0-day exploit (CVE-2021-44228) is found in Apache log4j 2 library on December 9, 2021.

This affects Apache log4j versions from 2.0-beta9 to 2.14.1 (inclusive).

This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute code on the server if the system logs an attacker-controlled string value with the attacker's JNDI LDAP server lookup.

Another vulnerability related to the same library, which was discovered on 12/14/2021 (CVE-2021-45046) and revealed another Remote Code Execution vulnerability, has been investigated by Hazelcast team as well and it is found that it does not affect Hazelcast Products under default configurations.

The finding of CVE-2021-45105 on 12/14/2021, which can cause a Denial of Service attack, was investigated by Hazelcast team and it is confirmed that it does not affect Hazelcast Products under default configurations.

The finding of CVE-2021-44832 on 12/28/2021, which is a medium vulnerability, is investigated by our security team as well, and not considered to be as critical. It requires attacker to be able to modify logging configuration, which means attacker can modify the filesystem and/or can already execute arbitrary code which is more of a general security breach rather than something log4j specific.

Note that Hazelcast IMDG and IMDG Enterprise itself is not affected.

However, given version distributions are considered to be vulnerable since related ZIP and TGZ distributions contain a vulnerable Hazelcast Management Center version.

Patches

CVE-2021-44228 is fixed in log4j 2.15.0. CVE-2021-45046 is fixed in log4j 2.16.0. CVE-2021-45105 is fixed in log4j 2.17.0. CVE-2021-44832 is fixed in log4j 2.17.1.

As of 12/21/2021, Hazelcast team has released a new version of all affected products that upgrades log4j to 2.17.0 as listed below: Hazelcast Management Center 4.2021.12-1, Hazelcast Management Center 5.0.4. Hazelcast IMDG and IMDG Enterprise 4.0.5, 4.1.8 and 4.2.4. Hazelcast Jet 4.5.3. Hazelcast Platform 5.0.2.

As of 01/06/2022, Hazelcast Management Center 4.2022.01 with the updated log4j 2.17.1 is released. log4j2.17.1 will be included in Management Center 5.1 that is expected to be released in February.

Hazelcast recommends upgrading to the latest versions available.

Workarounds

For users that an upgrade is not an option, below mitigations can be applied.

Disabling lookups via Environment Variable

Setting the environment variable LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS=true . This option is the easiest to apply for containerized environments.

Disabling lookups in log4j2 configuration

Another good option since there is no need to replace JARs or no need to modify logging configuration file, users who cannot upgrade to 2.17.0 can mitigate the exposure by:

Users of Log4j 2.10 or greater may add -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=trueas a command line option or add -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true in a log4j2.component.properties file on the classpath to prevent lookups in log event messages. Users since Log4j 2.7 may specify %m{nolookups} in the PatternLayout configuration to prevent lookups in log event messages. As an example; users deploying Hazelcast Management Center via helm charts can do the following to disable lookups and restart in one command:

helm upgrade <release-name> hazelcast/hazelcast --set mancenter.javaOpts="<javaOpts> -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true"

Where is the release name and is existing java options user has added previously.

Removing the JndiLookup from classpath

Remove the JndiLookup and JndiManager classes from the log4j-core jar. Note that removal of the JndiManager will cause the JndiContextSelector and JMSAppender to no longer function.

  "details": "### Impact\nA highly critical 0-day exploit (CVE-2021-44228) is found in Apache log4j 2 library on December 9, 2021.\n\nThis affects Apache log4j versions from 2.0-beta9 to 2.14.1 (inclusive). \n\nThis vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute code on the server if the system logs an attacker-controlled string value with the attacker\u0027s JNDI LDAP server lookup.\n\nAnother vulnerability related to the same library, which was discovered on 12/14/2021 (CVE-2021-45046) and revealed another Remote Code Execution vulnerability, has been investigated by Hazelcast team as well and it is found that it does not affect Hazelcast Products under default configurations. \n\nThe finding of CVE-2021-45105 on 12/14/2021, which can cause a Denial of Service attack, was investigated by Hazelcast team and it is confirmed that it does not affect Hazelcast Products under default configurations. \n\nThe finding of CVE-2021-44832 on 12/28/2021, which is a medium vulnerability, is investigated by our security team as well, and not considered to be as critical. It requires attacker to be able to modify logging configuration, which means attacker can modify the filesystem and/or can already execute arbitrary code which is more of a general security breach rather than something log4j specific.\n\nNote that Hazelcast IMDG and IMDG Enterprise itself is not affected.\n\nHowever, given version distributions are considered to be vulnerable since related ZIP and TGZ distributions contain a vulnerable Hazelcast Management Center version.\n\n### Patches\nCVE-2021-44228 is fixed in log4j 2.15.0.\nCVE-2021-45046 is fixed in log4j 2.16.0.\nCVE-2021-45105 is fixed in log4j 2.17.0.\nCVE-2021-44832 is fixed in log4j 2.17.1.\n\nAs of 12/21/2021, Hazelcast team has released a new version of all affected products that upgrades log4j to 2.17.0 as listed below: \nHazelcast Management Center 4.2021.12-1, Hazelcast Management Center 5.0.4.\nHazelcast IMDG and IMDG Enterprise 4.0.5, 4.1.8 and 4.2.4.\nHazelcast Jet 4.5.3.\nHazelcast Platform 5.0.2.\n\nAs of 01/06/2022, Hazelcast Management Center 4.2022.01 with the updated log4j 2.17.1 is released. log4j2.17.1 will be included in Management Center 5.1 that is expected to be released in February. \n\nHazelcast recommends upgrading to the latest versions available.\n\n### Workarounds\nFor users that an upgrade is not an option, below mitigations can be applied.\n\n#### Disabling lookups via Environment Variable \nSetting the environment variable LOG4J_FORMAT_MSG_NO_LOOKUPS=true .\nThis option is the easiest to apply for containerized environments.\n\n#### Disabling lookups in log4j2 configuration\nAnother good option since there is no need to replace JARs or no need to modify logging configuration file, users who cannot upgrade to 2.17.0 can mitigate the exposure by:\n\nUsers of Log4j 2.10 or greater may add `-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true `as a command line option or add `-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true` in a `log4j2.component.properties` file on the classpath to prevent lookups in log event messages.\nUsers since Log4j 2.7 may specify `%m{nolookups}` in the PatternLayout configuration to prevent lookups in log event messages.\nAs an example; users deploying Hazelcast Management Center via helm charts can do the following to disable lookups and restart in one command:\n\n`helm upgrade \u003crelease-name\u003e hazelcast/hazelcast --set mancenter.javaOpts=\"\u003cjavaOpts\u003e -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true\"`\n\nWhere \u003crelease-name\u003e is the release name and \u003cjavaOpts\u003e is existing java options user has added previously.\n\n#### Removing the JndiLookup from classpath\nRemove the JndiLookup and JndiManager classes from the log4j-core jar. Note that removal of the JndiManager will cause the JndiContextSelector and JMSAppender to no longer function.\n\n### References\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-45046\nhttps://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-45105\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44832\nhttps://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/index.html\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [our repo](https://github.com/hazelcast/hazelcast)\n* Slack us at [Hazelcast Community Slack](https://slack.hazelcast.com/)\n",

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.

Mitigation
Implementation

When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation
  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
Mitigation
Implementation

Avoid having unnecessary types or gadgets (a sequence of instances and method invocations that can self-execute during the deserialization process, often found in libraries) available that can be leveraged for malicious ends. This limits the potential for unintended or unauthorized types and gadgets to be leveraged by the attacker. Add only acceptable classes to an allowlist. Note: new gadgets are constantly being discovered, so this alone is not a sufficient mitigation.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design Implementation

Employ cryptography of the data or code for protection. However, it's important to note that it would still be client-side security. This is risky because if the client is compromised then the security implemented on the client (the cryptography) can be bypassed.

Mitigation MIT-29
Operation

Strategy: Firewall

Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth [REF-1481].

CAPEC-586: Object Injection

An adversary attempts to exploit an application by injecting additional, malicious content during its processing of serialized objects. Developers leverage serialization in order to convert data or state into a static, binary format for saving to disk or transferring over a network. These objects are then deserialized when needed to recover the data/state. By injecting a malformed object into a vulnerable application, an adversary can potentially compromise the application by manipulating the deserialization process. This can result in a number of unwanted outcomes, including remote code execution.
