Apache APISIX < 2.13.0 Input Validation

critical Nessus Plugin ID 161977

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is missing a vendor-supplied update.

Description

The version of Apache APISIX installed on the remote host is prior to 2.13.0. It is, therefore, potentially affected by an input validation vulnerability. When decoding JSON with duplicate keys, lua-cjson will choose the last occurred value as the result. By passing a JSON with a duplicate key, the attacker can bypass the body_schema validation in the request-validation plugin. Systems satisfy three conditions below are affected by this attack: 1. use body_schema validation in the request-validation plugin 2. upstream application uses a special JSON library that chooses the first occurred value, like jsoniter or gojay 3. upstream application does not validate the input anymore.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache APISIX version 2.13.0 or later.
