CVE-2023-27025
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

An arbitrary file download vulnerability exists in the background management module of RuoYi version 4.7.6 and below. This vulnerability was discovered in January 2023 and allows attackers to download arbitrary files from the server through the task scheduling functionality (RuoYi Issue, NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation in the black and white list filtering mechanism for task scheduling. While the system implements a blacklist of restricted packages and a whitelist allowing 'com.ruoyi' packages, attackers can bypass these restrictions through bean conversion operations. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (NVD).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to download arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. This could lead to exposure of sensitive information, configuration files, or other critical system data (RuoYi Issue).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in versions after 4.7.6 by implementing additional validation for bean conversion objects. The fix includes enhanced blacklist filtering mechanisms to prevent bypass attempts (RuoYi Commit).
