Lifecycle Timeline
2Description
Remote command injection vulnerability in heap profiler builtin service in Apache bRPC ((all versions < 1.15.0)) on all platforms allows attacker to inject remote command. Root Cause: The bRPC heap profiler built-in service (/pprof/heap) does not validate the user-provided extra_options parameter and executes it as a command-line argument. Attackers can execute remote commands using the extra_options parameter.. Affected scenarios: Use the built-in bRPC heap profiler service to perform jemalloc memory profiling. How to Fix: we provide two methods, you can choose one of them: 1. Upgrade bRPC to version 1.15.0. 2. Apply this patch ( https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3101 ) manually.
Analysis
Apache bRPC versions before 1.15.0 contain a remote command injection vulnerability in the heap profiler built-in service, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands.
Technical Context
The built-in heap profiler service in Apache bRPC (all versions < 1.15.0) processes user input without proper sanitization (CWE-77), allowing injection of arbitrary OS commands through the profiling interface.
Affected Products
['Apache bRPC < 1.15.0']
Remediation
Upgrade to Apache bRPC 1.15.0 or later. Disable built-in profiling services in production. Restrict access to debug endpoints.
