QID 981890

QID 981890: Java (maven) Security Update for org.apache.syncope:syncope-core (GHSA-vjqw-r3ww-wj2w)

A Server-Side Template Injection was identified in Apache Syncope prior to 2.1.6 enabling attackers to inject arbitrary Java EL expressions, leading to an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. Apache Syncope uses Java Bean Validation (JSR 380) custom constraint validators. When building custom constraint violation error messages, they support different types of interpolation, including Java EL expressions. Therefore, if an attacker can inject arbitrary data in the error message template being passed, they will be able to run arbitrary Java code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
