GHSA-V92F-JX6P-73RX

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-09-19 20:35 – Updated: 2025-10-22 19:17

Summary

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in jai-ext

Details

Impact

Programs using jt-jiffle, and allowing Jiffle script to be provided via network request, are susceptible to a Remote Code Execution as the Jiffle script is compiled into Java code via Janino, and executed. In particular, this affects the downstream GeoServer project.

Patches

Version 1.2.22 will contain a patch that disables the ability to inject malicious code into the resulting script.

Workarounds

Negate the ability to compile Jiffle scripts from the final application, by removing janino-x.y.z.jar from the classpath.

References

None.

Severity

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-04-13 20:45 – Updated: 2025-10-21 23:15

Title

Improper Control of Generation of Code in jai-ext

Summary

JAI-EXT is an open-source project which aims to extend the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. Programs allowing Jiffle script to be provided via network request can lead to a Remote Code Execution as the Jiffle script is compiled into Java code via Janino, and executed. In particular, this affects the downstream GeoServer project. Version 1.2.22 will contain a patch that disables the ability to inject malicious code into the resulting script. Users unable to upgrade may negate the ability to compile Jiffle scripts from the final application, by removing janino-x.y.z.jar from the classpath.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
