Severity: Important
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected: Apache Ignite 2.5 and earlier
Impact:
An attacker can execute arbitrary code on Ignite nodes via
GridClientJdkMarshaller deserialization endpoint in the case when Ignite
classpath contains arbitrary vulnerable classes.
Description:
Apache Ignite serialization mechanism does not have a list of classes
allowed for serialization/deserialization, which makes it possible to run
arbitrary code when 3-rd party vulnerable classes are present in Ignite
classpath. The vulnerability can be exploited if the one sends a specially
prepared form of a serialized object to GridClientJdkMarshaller
deserialization endpoint.
Mitigation:
• All Ignite versions: make sure there are no vulnerable classes among
your custom code used in Apache Ignite.
• Ignite 2.5 or earlier users: upgrade to Ignite 2.6 and use
IGNITE_MARSHALLER_WHITELIST and/or IGNITE_MARSHALLER_BLACKLIST system
properties to define classes allowed for deserialization. Refer to this
documentation for more details:
