NVD · unedited
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache InLong.This issue affects Apache InLong: from 1.7.0 through 1.11.0,  the attackers can bypass using malicious parameters. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache InLong's 1.12.0 or cherry-pick [1], [2] to solve it. [1] https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/9694 [2]  https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/9707

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Apache InLong versions 1.7.0 through 1.11.0 contain a deserialization vulnerability where attackers can bypass security controls using malicious parameters. This allows remote code execution or arbitrary command execution by sending crafted serialized data to vulnerable deserialization endpoints.

MitigationUpgrade to Apache InLong version 1.12.0 or apply the cherry-picks from PRs #9694 and #9707 to remediate the insecure deserialization vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Apache InLong installation
    Locate InLong deployment by checking for inlong-manager service, looking for InLong installation directories, or querying running processes (ps aux | grep inlong)
    Affected if Apache InLong is present in the environment
  2. Determine installed InLong version
    Check the version by examining the pom.xml in the InLong source, the manager service startup logs, or querying the management API endpoint /api/inlong/manager/version if available
    Affected if Installed version is >= 1.7.0 and < 1.12.0
  3. Identify exposed deserialization endpoints
    Review InLong manager service configuration files (application.yml or application.properties) for exposed REST API endpoints, particularly those handling serialized data or object input
    Affected if Deserialization endpoints are accessible without additional authentication layers
  4. Check network exposure of InLong services
    Review firewall rules, security groups, and proxy configurations to determine if InLong manager API ports (typically 8080 or 8081) are exposed to untrusted networks
    Affected if InLong services are reachable from untrusted network segments

User is affected if Apache InLong version is 1.7.0 through 1.11.0 and the deserialization endpoints are network-accessible.
