Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apache InLong, a widely used data integration tool, has been found to possess a significant security vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-27528. This vulnerability stems from deserialization of untrusted data in Apache InLong which can potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage. The severity of the issue<\/a> is further emphasized by its high CVSS score of 9.1. The vulnerability affects versions from 1.13.0 through 2.1.0 of Apache<\/a> InLong and poses a serious threat to the integrity and security of systems utilizing these versions.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-27528
\nSeverity: Critical (9.1 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: System compromise or data leakage<\/a><\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Apache InLong | 1.13.0 – 2.1.0<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability arises from the deserialization of untrusted data<\/a> in Apache InLong, specifically affecting the InLong JDBC. An attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted data that, when deserialized, bypasses security mechanisms and enables arbitrary file<\/a> reading. This could potentially allow an attacker to read sensitive data<\/a> or execute malicious code leading to system compromise or data leakage.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a conceptual example of a malicious payload that could be used to exploit this vulnerability<\/a>:<\/p>\n

POST \/inlong\/jdbc HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/octet-stream\n{ \"serialized_object\": \"base64-encoded-serialized-object\" }<\/code><\/pre>\n
In the example above, the `serialized_object` field contains a base64-encoded serialized object that, when deserialized by the vulnerable<\/a> Apache InLong JDBC, could lead to arbitrary file reading or execution of malicious code.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
Users are strongly advised to upgrade to Apache<\/a> InLong’s 2.2.0 or cherry-pick the fix from https:\/\/github.com\/apache\/inlong\/pull\/11747 to solve it. As a temporary mitigation, users can also apply a vendor patch or use Web<\/a> Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). However, these are not long-term solutions and upgrading to a fixed version is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
