CVE-2023-25194: Apache Druid Kafka Connect - Remote Code Execution

id: CVE-2023-25194

info:
  name: Apache Druid Kafka Connect - Remote Code Execution
  author: j4vaovo
  severity: high
  description: |
    The vulnerability has the potential to enable a remote attacker with authentication to run any code on the system. This is due to unsafe deserialization that occurs during the configuration of the connector through the Kafka Connect REST API
  impact: |
    Authenticated attackers can exploit unsafe deserialization in the Kafka Connect REST API to execute arbitrary code through JNDI injection, potentially compromising the entire Apache Druid data analytics infrastructure.
  remediation: |
    Apply Apache Druid security patches that validate and sanitize SASL JAAS configuration in Kafka connector settings to prevent JNDI injection attacks.
