Apache RocketMQ < 4.9.6 / 5.0.x < 5.1.1 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 210953

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Apache RocketMQ installed on the remote host is prior to 4.9.6 or 5.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

 - For RocketMQ versions 5.1.0 and below, under certain conditions, there is a risk of remote command execution. Several components of RocketMQ, including NameServer, Broker, and Controller, are leaked on the extranet and lack permission verification, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability by using the update configuration function to execute commands as the system users that RocketMQ is running as. Additionally, an attacker can achieve the same effect by forging the RocketMQ protocol content. To prevent these attacks, users are recommended to upgrade to version 5.1.1 or above for using RocketMQ 5.x or 4.9.6 or above for using RocketMQ 4.x . (CVE-2023-33246)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Apache RocketMQ version 4.9.6 / 5.1.1 or later.
