Apache InLong: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
CVE-2024-26580 is a critical-severity deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Apache InLong from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Apache InLong versions: 1.4.0 through 1.10.0. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.22% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 69% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of Apache InLong you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Read the advisory on lists.apache.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
Affected products and versions
| Vendor | Product | Affected versions | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apache | Apache InLong | 1.4.0 through 1.10.0 | Not stated |
| Apache | inlong | 1.4.0 through 1.10.0 | Not stated |

Official description
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache InLong.This issue affects Apache InLong: from 1.8.0 through 1.10.0, the attackers can use the specific payload to read from an arbitrary file. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache InLong's 1.11.0 or cherry-pick [1] to solve it. [1] https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/9673

The underlying weakness: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.
- When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.
- Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.
