Lifecycle Timeline
9DescriptionCVE.org
A critical vulnerability in the Talend JobServer and Talend Runtime allows unauthenticated remote code execution via the JMX monitoring port. The attack vector is the JMX monitoring port of the Talend JobServer. The vulnerability can be mitigated for the Talend JobServer by requiring TLS client authentication for the monitoring port; however, the patch must be applied for full mitigation. For Talend ESB Runtime, the vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the JobServer JMX monitoring port, which is disabled by default from the R2024-07-RT patch.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote code execution via JMX monitoring port affects Talend JobServer and Talend Runtime (CVSS 9.8). Attackers can exploit the exposed JMX interface without authentication to execute arbitrary code with JobServer privileges. Vendor-released patches available (Talend ESB Runtime R2024-07-RT). No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV status: NO), but the trivial attack complexity (AC:L) and network accessibility (AV:N) present significant risk for exposed instances. EPSS data not provided.
Technical ContextAI
Java Management Extensions (JMX) is a Java technology providing tools for managing and monitoring applications, system objects, and service-oriented networks. JMX monitoring ports expose MBeans (Managed Beans) that allow remote management operations. When improperly secured, unauthenticated JMX ports become high-value attack surfaces because they can invoke arbitrary methods on managed objects. Talend JobServer and Talend Runtime both expose JMX monitoring interfaces for operational visibility. The vulnerability affects the JMX monitoring port implementation in both products, where default configurations permitted unauthenticated remote connections. Without TLS client authentication or proper access controls, attackers can connect to the JMX port and leverage exposed MBeans to load malicious classes, invoke system commands, or manipulate runtime configurations-achieving complete code execution within the Java runtime environment.
RemediationAI
Apply vendor-released patches immediately. For Talend ESB Runtime, upgrade to version R2024-07-RT or later, which disables the JobServer JMX monitoring port by default and includes full mitigation. For Talend JobServer, apply the corresponding security patch provided by Qlik. As an interim mitigation measure (not a substitute for patching), configure TLS client authentication for the JMX monitoring port to restrict access to trusted certificates, though the vendor advisory states that patching remains necessary for complete mitigation. Network-level controls such as firewall rules restricting JMX port access to trusted management networks should be implemented immediately if patching cannot be completed within emergency change windows. Verify that JMX monitoring ports (commonly TCP 8999 or custom-configured ports) are not exposed to untrusted networks or the internet.
