CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Appium Java Client versions 8.2.1 to 10.1.1 are vulnerable when the directConnect(true) option is enabled, allowing a malicious or compromised server to redirect session traffic to arbitrary destinations. This can lead to full interception of sensitive data, including potential theft of cloud metadata credentials through server-side request forgery. Organizations using these versions of the Appium Java Client should prioritize upgrading to version 10.1.1 to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description
Appium Java Client is the Java language binding for writing Appium tests that conform to the W3C WebDriver protocol. From 8.2.1 until 10.1.1, when directConnect(true) is enabled, AppiumCommandExecutor.setDirectConnect() reads the directConnectHost, directConnectPort, and directConnectPath fields from the server's NEW_SESSION response and rebuilds the client's server URL from them, validating only that the protocol is https, with no host allowlist or IP validation; a rogue or compromised server can therefore redirect all subsequent session traffic to an arbitrary destination, enabling full interception of session traffic and a server-side request forgery pivot to internal hosts, including cloud metadata (IMDS) credential theft. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.1.1.
