CVE-2021-43297 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2022-01-10T06:23:23.358Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.6.x before 2.6.12
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x before 2.7.15
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 3.0.x before 3.0.5
Description
A deserialization vulnerability existed in dubbo hessian-lite 3.2.11 and its earlier versions, which could lead to malicious code execution. Most Dubbo users use Hessian2 as the default serialization/deserialization protocol, during Hessian catch unexpected exceptions, Hessian will log out some imformation for users, which may cause remote command execution. This issue affects Apache Dubbo Apache Dubbo 2.6.x versions prior to 2.6.12; Apache Dubbo 2.7.x versions prior to 2.7.15; Apache Dubbo 3.0.x versions prior to 3.0.5.

Bypass deserialization checks in Apache Dubbo
CVE-2021-37579 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-09-09T07:40:35.954Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x through 2.7.12
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 3.0.x through 3.0.1
Description
The Dubbo Provider will check the incoming request and the corresponding serialization type of this request meet the configuration set by the server. But there’s an exception that the attacker can use to skip the security check (when enabled) and reaching a deserialization operation with native java serialization.
Apache Dubbo 2.7.13, 3.0.2 fixed this issue by quickly fail when any unrecognized request was found.

CVE-2021-36163 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-09-07T09:21:20.469Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x through 2.7.12
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.6.x through 2.6.10
Description
In Apache Dubbo, users may choose to use the Hessian protocol. The Hessian protocol is implemented on top of HTTP and passes the body of a POST request directly to a HessianSkeleton: New HessianSkeleton are created without any configuration of the serialization factory and therefore without applying the dubbo properties for applying allowed or blocked type lists. In addition, the generic service is always exposed and therefore attackers do not need to figure out a valid service/method name pair. This is fixed in 2.7.13, 2.6.10.1

Unprotected yaml deserialization cause RCE
CVE-2021-36162 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-09-07T09:20:04.687Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x through 2.7.12
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 3.0.x through 3.0.1
Description
Apache Dubbo supports various rules to support configuration override or traffic routing (called routing in Dubbo). These rules are loaded into the configuration center (eg: Zookeeper, Nacos, …) and retrieved by the customers when making a request in order to find the right endpoint.
When parsing these YAML rules, Dubbo customers will use SnakeYAML library to load the rules which by default will enable calling arbitrary constructors. An attacker with access to the configuration center he will be able to poison the rule so when retrieved by the consumers, it will get RCE on all of them. This was fixed in Dubbo 2.7.13, 3.0.2

CVE-2021-36161 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-09-09T07:39:17.113Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x through 2.7.12
Description
Some component in Dubbo will try to print the formated string of the input arguments, which will possibly cause RCE for a maliciously customized bean with special toString method. In the latest version, we fix the toString call in timeout, cache and some other places. Fixed in Apache Dubbo 2.7.13

Apache Dubbo RCE on customers via Script route poisoning (Nashorn script injection)
CVE-2021-30181 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-05-29T07:19:20.347Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x before 2.7.9
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.6.x before 2.6.9
Description
Apache Dubbo prior to 2.6.9 and 2.7.9 supports Script routing which will enable a customer to route the request to the right server. These rules are used by the customers when making a request in order to find the right endpoint. When parsing these rules, Dubbo customers use ScriptEngine and run the rule provided by the script which by default may enable executing arbitrary code.

Last updated: 2021-05-31T07:21:55.266Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x before 2.7.9
Description
Apache Dubbo prior to 2.7.9 support Tag routing which will enable a customer to route the request to the right server. These rules are used by the customers when making a request in order to find the right endpoint. When parsing these YAML rules, Dubbo customers may enable calling arbitrary constructors.

Apache Dubbo Pre-auth RCE via Java deserialization in the Generic filter
CVE-2021-30179 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-05-31T07:20:28.079Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x before 2.7.9
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.6.x before 2.6.9
Description
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.

Dubbo Zookeeper does not check serialization id
CVE-2021-25641 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-05-29T07:21:43.205Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.7.x before 2.7.8
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo 2.6.x before 2.6.9
Description
Each Apache Dubbo server will set a serialization id to tell the clients which serialization protocol it is working on. But for Dubbo versions before 2.7.8 or 2.6.9, an attacker can choose which serialization id the Provider will use by tampering with the byte preamble flags, aka, not following the server’s instruction. This means that if a weak deserializer such as the Kryo and FST are somehow in code scope (e.g. if Kryo is somehow a part of a dependency), a remote unauthenticated attacker can tell the Provider to use the weak deserializer, and then proceed to exploit it.

Apache Dubbo default deserialization protocol Hessian2 cause CRE
CVE-2020-11995 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]
Last updated: 2021-01-11T09:22:59.963Z
Affected
- Apache Dubbo from Apache Dubbo before 2.6.9
Description
A deserialization vulnerability existed in dubbo 2.7.5 and its earlier versions, which could lead to malicious code execution. Most Dubbo users use Hessian2 as the default serialization/deserialization protool, during Hessian2 deserializing the HashMap object, some functions in the classes stored in HasMap will be executed after a series of program calls, however, those special functions may cause remote command execution. For example, the hashCode() function of the EqualsBean class in rome-1.7.0.jar will cause the remotely load malicious classes and execute malicious code by constructing a malicious request. This issue was fixed in Apache Dubbo 2.6.9 and 2.7.8.
