How to Fix CVE-2024-56180

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Apache EventMesh dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.apache.eventmesh:eventmesh-meta-raft fixed: 1.11.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.eventmesh</groupId>
    <artifactId>eventmesh-meta-raft</artifactId>
    <version>1.11.0</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.eventmesh

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-56180, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.eventmesh

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apache EventMesh in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.11.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.eventmesh command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Apache EventMesh, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

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.
