3DescriptionCVE.org
A JEXL expression sandbox bypass exists in multiple versions of OpenNMS Meridian and Horizon. A low-privileged authenticated user can submit a crafted expression to the Measurements REST API that escapes the sandbox and loads arbitrary Java classes on the server. This can potentially allow an attacker to gain access to confidential information and compromise integrity.
The solution is to upgrade to Meridian 2024.3.12, 2025.0.9 and Horizon 36.0.3 or newer. Meridian and Horizon installation instructions state that they are intended for installation within an organization's private networks and should not be directly accessible from the Internet.

AnalysisAI
JEXL expression sandbox bypass in OpenNMS Meridian and Horizon allows a low-privileged authenticated user to load arbitrary Java classes on the server via the Measurements REST API, enabling confidentiality disclosure and integrity compromise. The flaw stems from incorrect authorization logic in OnmsJexlUberspect that checked method calls on a whitelisted class object against the whitelisted class rather than against java.lang.Class itself, allowing reflection chains such as table.getClass().forName('java.lang.Runtime') to escape the sandbox. …
