From:       Jean-Baptiste_Onofré <jbonofre () apache ! org>

[Download RAW message or body]

Severity: Medium

Affected versions:

- Apache ActiveMQ before 5.16.6
- Apache ActiveMQ 5.17.0 before 5.17.4
- Apache ActiveMQ 5.18.0 unaffected
- Apache ActiveMQ 6.0.0 unaffected

Description:

Once an user is authenticated on Jolokia, he can potentially trigger arbitrary code execution.  \


In details, in ActiveMQ configurations, jetty allows
org.jolokia.http.AgentServlet to handler request to /api/jolokia

org.jolokia.http.HttpRequestHandler#handlePostRequest is able to
create JmxRequest through JSONObject. And calls to
org.jolokia.http.HttpRequestHandler#executeRequest.

Into deeper calling stacks,
org.jolokia.handler.ExecHandler#doHandleRequest is able to invoke
through refection.

And then, RCE is able to be achieved via
jdk.management.jfr.FlightRecorderMXBeanImpl which exists on Java version above 11.

1 Call newRecording.

2 Call setConfiguration. And a webshell data hides in it.

3 Call startRecording.

4 Call copyTo method. The webshell will be written to a .jsp file.

The mitigation is to restrict (by default) the actions authorized on Jolokia, or disable \
Jolokia. A more restrictive Jolokia configuration has been defined in default ActiveMQ \
distribution. We encourage users to upgrade to ActiveMQ distributions version including updated \
Jolokia configuration: 5.16.6, 5.17.4, 5.18.0, 6.0.0.

This issue is being tracked as AMQ-9201
