Apache RocketMQ 4.2.0 < 4.6.1 Directory Traversal (CVE-2023-37582)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 185453

Language:

Synopsis

The web application running on the remote web server is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

In Apache RocketMQ 4.2.0 to 4.6.0, when the automatic topic creation in the broker is turned on by default, an evil topic like ../../../../topic2020 is sent from rocketmq-client to the broker, a topic folder will be created in the parent directory in brokers, which leads to a directory traversal vulnerability.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache RocketMQ version 4.6.1 or later
