Known exploited vulnerability
CVE-2022-24816
The short answer
CVE-2022-24816 affects geosolutions-it jai-ext and is rated critical (CVSS 10.0). CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-06-26: attackers are using it, so patch it first. Fixed versions are published for jt-jiffle (1.1.22) and jt-jiffle-language (1.1.22).
What it is
JAI-EXT is an open-source project which aims to extend the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. Programs allowing Jiffle script to be provided via network request can lead to a Remote Code Execution as the Jiffle script is compiled into Java code via Janino, and executed. In particular, this affects the downstream GeoServer project. Version 1.2.22 will contain a patch that disables the ability to inject malicious code into the resulting script. Users unable to upgrade may negate the ability to compile Jiffle scripts from the final application, by removing janino-x.y.z.jar from the classpath.
Weakness: CWE-94.
