CVE-2022-39379: Fluentd vulnerable to remote code execution due to insecure deserialization (in non-default configuration)

Published Nov 2, 2022
·
Updated

Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS, Hadoop and so on. A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in non-default configurations of Fluentd allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted JSON payloads. Fluentd setups are only affected if the environment variable FLUENTOJOPTIONMODE is explicitly set to object. Please note: The option FLUENTOJOPTIONMODE was introduced in Fluentd version 1.13.2. Earlier versions of Fluentd are not affected by this vulnerability. This issue was patched in version 1.15.3. As a workaround do not use FLUENTOJOPTIONMODE=object.
