CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects Spring for Apache Kafka versions 2.8.12 and earlier, allowing external Kafka producers to inject a java.net.InetAddress type through the spring_json_header_types message header due to the inclusion of java.net in the default trusted packages list. This can lead to potential remote code execution or other malicious activities if exploited. Organizations using these versions of Spring for Apache Kafka, especially those with exposed Kafka listeners, should prioritize applying patches or mitigating configurations to safeguard against this risk.
Original NVD Description
JsonKafkaHeaderMapper and DefaultKafkaHeaderMapper include java.net in their default trusted packages list. When these mappers are used — which is the default configuration for all @KafkaListener consumers — an external Kafka producer can inject a java.net.InetAddress type via the spring_json_header_types message header. Spring for Apache Kafka 4.1.0 Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.0 - 4.0.6 Spring for Apache Kafka 3.0.0 - 3.3.16 Spring for Apache Kafka 2.9.0 - 2.9.14 Spring for Apache Kafka 2.8.12 and earlier
