CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedApache Jackrabbit's WebDAV/Davex client is vulnerable to an externally-controlled input issue that allows a malicious server or an attacker intercepting the connection to instantiate arbitrary classes, potentially leading to unauthorized file creation or truncation. This affects applications utilizing jackrabbit-spi2dav to connect to remote repositories, making it critical for users operating these versions (2.23.0 to 2.23.5, 2.22.0 to 2.22.4, and 2.20.0 to 2.20.17) to prioritize upgrading to the patched versions (2.23.6, 2.22.5, or 2.20.18) to mitigate the risk.
Original NVD Description
— Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code vulnerability in Apache Jackrabbit's WebDAV/Davex client. A malicious WebDAV/DavEx server, or an attacker able to intercept the connection, can cause the client to instantiate arbitrary classes from its classpath, which can lead to arbitrary file creation or truncation. Only applications that use jackrabbit-spi2dav (directly or through jackrabbit-jcr2dav) to connect to a remote repository are affected. Jackrabbit servers are not affected. Category: unsafe reflection on wire data (HIGH). This issue affects Apache Jackrabbit: from 2.23.0 through 2.23.5, from 2.22.0 through 2.22.4, from 2.20.0 through 2.20.17. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 2.23.6, 2.22.5, or 2.20.18 which fix the issue.
