CVE detail

CVE-2021-30179

Apache Dubbo prior to 2.6.9 and 2.7.9 by default supports generic calls to arbitrary methods exposed by provider interfaces. These invocations are handled by the GenericFilter which will find the service and method specified in the first arguments of the invocation and use the Java Reflection API to make the final call. The signature for the $invoke or $invokeAsync methods is Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object; where the first argument is the name of the method to invoke, the second one is an array with the parameter types for the method being invoked and the third one is an array with the actual call arguments. In addition, the caller also needs to set an RPC attachment specifying that the call is a generic call and how to decode the arguments. The possible values are: - true - raw.return - nativejava - bean - protobuf-json An attacker can control this RPC attachment and set it to nativejava to force the java deserialization of the byte array located in the third argument.

  • Apache Dubbo: All roads lead to RCEGitHub Security Lab

    During an audit of Apache Dubbo v2.7.8 source code, I found multiple vulnerabilities enabling attackers to compromise and run arbitrary system commands on both Dubbo consumers and providers. In this blog post I detailed how I leveraged CodeQL as an audit oracle to help me find these issues.
