Overview

A Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability (CVE-2024-43383) was discovered in Apache Lucene.NET's Replicator library, affecting versions from 4.8.0-beta00005 through 4.8.0-beta00016. The vulnerability was disclosed on October 31, 2024, and received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (HIGH) from NIST (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper handling of untrusted data during deserialization processes in the Replicator library. When an attacker can intercept traffic between a replication client and server or control the target replication node URL, they can provide a specially-crafted JSON response that is deserialized as an attacker-provided exception type. The vulnerability has been assigned CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) classification (NVD).

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to remote code execution and unauthorized system access. The potential impacts include system takeover, data breaches, and the ability to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system (Security Online).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to version 4.8.0-beta00017, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. The Apache Lucene.NET team has addressed the issue in this release (OSS Security).
