CVE-2022-44730

Local data disclosure via overbroad Rhino allowlist

Published Aug 22, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

SSRF in Apache Batik 1.0 through 1.16 allows local users to disclose profile data by opening a malicious SVG file. The RhinoClassShutter allowlist treats every org.* Java class as script-visible, letting embedded Rhino code reach classes beyond the intended set. Exploitation requires an application to process attacker-supplied SVG with scripting enabled; the crafted script reads local data and places it in an outbound URL.
