How to Fix CVE-2022-24697

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Kylin core common 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.kylin:kylin-core-common fixed: 4.0.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.kylin</groupId>
    <artifactId>kylin-core-common</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.2</version>
</dependency>
org.apache.kylin:kylin-spark-project fixed: 4.0.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.kylin</groupId>
    <artifactId>kylin-spark-project</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.2</version>
</dependency>
org.apache.kylin:kylin-server-base fixed: 4.0.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.kylin</groupId>
    <artifactId>kylin-server-base</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.2</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.kylin

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-24697, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

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

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Kylin core common in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.0.2), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.kylin 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-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an os command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended os command when it is sent to a downstream component. In Kylin core common, 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

Kylin's cube designer function has a command injection vulnerability when overwriting system parameters in the configuration overwrites menu. RCE can be implemented by closing the single quotation marks around the parameter value of “-- conf=” to inject any operating system command into the command line parameters. This vulnerability affects Kylin 2 version 2.6.5 and earlier, Kylin 3 version 3.1.2 and earlier, and Kylin 4 version 4.0.1 and earlier.
