Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
XXL-JOB, all versions as of July 11, 2022, contains an Escalation of Privileges vulnerability that allows low-privileged users to execute administrative functions. The vulnerability was discovered in the open-source distributed task scheduling framework that is used by multiple companies in their product lines (GitHub Issue).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the access control mechanism of the application. A low-privileged user can bypass intended access restrictions by directly accessing the '/jobgroup' endpoint, which provides unauthorized access to the 'Executor management' function that should only be available to administrators (GitHub Issue).
Impact
This vulnerability allows authenticated users with low privileges to access and modify administrative functions, specifically the Executor management feature, effectively bypassing the intended access control restrictions (GitHub Issue).
