Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data at the eventmesh-meta-raft plugin module in Apache EventMesh master branch without release version on windows\linux\mac os e.g. platforms allows attackers to send controlled message and remote code execute via hessian deserialization rpc protocol. Users can use the code under the master branch in project repo or version 1.11.0 to fix this issue.

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 EventMesh's eventmesh-meta-raft plugin module suffers from CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) where attackers can send crafted messages through the Hessian deserialization RPC protocol to achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability exists in the master branch and version 1.11.0.

MitigationUpgrade to version 1.11.0 or pull the latest fixes from the master branch to remediate the unsafe Hessian deserialization in the eventmesh-meta-raft plugin.

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. Check Apache EventMesh installed version
    Locate the EventMesh installation directory and identify the version from the release files, pom.xml, or by running 'java -jar eventmesh*.jar --version' if available
    Affected if The installed version is greater than or equal to 1.10.1 and less than 1.11.0
  2. Verify eventmesh-meta-raft plugin is loaded
    Inspect the EventMesh configuration files (typically in conf/ or config/ directory) for references to 'eventmesh-meta-raft' or 'meta-raft' plugin in plugin, module, or connector configuration files
    Affected if The eventmesh-meta-raft plugin module is enabled or loaded in the configuration
  3. Confirm RPC protocol endpoint is exposed
    Check the RPC server configuration in the eventmesh.properties or similar configuration file for 'rpc' or 'grpc' protocol settings, and verify the listener port and network binding settings
    Affected if RPC protocol is enabled and bound to a network interface accessible to attackers (especially if bound to 0.0.0.0 or untrusted networks)
  4. Inspect Hessian deserialization configuration
    Review the RPC handler or serializer configuration files for Hessian serialization implementation, typically found in RPC-related configuration sections or classpath dependencies containing Hessian libraries
    Affected if Hessian serialization is the configured or default method for RPC message handling in the meta-raft plugin

A user is affected if running Apache EventMesh version 1.10.1 through 1.10.x with the eventmesh-meta-raft plugin enabled and RPC protocol exposed, allowing untrusted Hessian-serialized messages to be processed.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.11.0 or later
Fixed in 1.11.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to version 1.11.0 or pull the latest fixes from the master branch to remediate the unsafe Hessian deserialization in the eventmesh-meta-raft plugin.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.11.0

  1. 1. Stop the Apache EventMesh service
  2. 2. Back up your current EventMesh installation and configuration files
  3. 3. Download Apache EventMesh version 1.11.0 from the official Apache EventMesh release repository
  4. 4. Extract the new version to your deployment directory
  5. 5. Migrate your configuration files from the backup to the new installation
  6. 6. Start the EventMesh service and verify it runs correctly
  7. 7. Test that your applications and workflows function as expected with the upgraded version
Caveat Review the 1.11.0 release notes for any breaking changes or API modifications before upgrading
