SCA: security update for org.apache.syncope:syncope-core (GHSA-vjqw-r3ww-wj2w)
critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 419387
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- A Server-Side Template Injection was identified in Apache Syncope prior to 2.1.6 enabling attackers to
inject arbitrary Java EL expressions, leading to an unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE)
vulnerability. Apache Syncope uses Java Bean Validation (JSR 380) custom constraint validators. When
building custom constraint violation error messages, they support different types of interpolation,
including Java EL expressions. Therefore, if an attacker can inject arbitrary data in the error message
template being passed, they will be able to run arbitrary Java code. (CVE-2020-1959)
