Remote code execution via malicious JMX deserialization
Published Jun 19, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Unsafe deserialization in Provectus Kafka UI before 0.7.2 allows remote attackers to execute code through a malicious JMX server. JMX metrics collection follows an attacker-controlled RMI reference and deserializes returned objects inside the backend, where bundled gadget chains execute commands. Reachability requires dynamic configuration to be enabled or attacker access to a connected Kafka cluster; UI authentication is disabled by default.
