Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

CVE-2025-53192 is an Improper Neutralization of Expression/Command Delimiters vulnerability affecting all versions of Apache Commons OGNL. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on August 18, 2025. This security flaw impacts the Apache Commons OGNL library, which is a component used in various enterprise Java applications (NVD Database).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the Ognl.getValue API functionality where the OGNL engine parses and evaluates provided expressions with extensive capabilities, including accessing and invoking related methods. While OgnlRuntime implements a blocklist to restrict dangerous classes and methods like java.lang.Runtime, these restrictions are not comprehensive. The vulnerability has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (NVD Database).

Impact

The vulnerability allows attackers to potentially achieve arbitrary code execution by bypassing the security restrictions through leveraging class objects that are not covered by the blocklist. This affects multiple Red Hat products including Red Hat Fuse 7, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 and 8, and Red Hat build of Apache Camel for Spring Boot 4 (Red Hat Portal).

Mitigation and workarounds

As the project is retired, no official fix will be released. Users are recommended to either find an alternative solution or restrict access to the instance to trusted users only. This vulnerability specifically affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer (NVD Database).
