An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-11779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.storm:storm-kafka (Maven): affected from 1.1.0; fixed in 1.2.3\n- org.apache.storm:storm-kafka (Maven): affected from 1.1.0; fixed in 1.2.3\n- org.apache.storm:storm-kafka-client (Maven): affected from 1.1.0; fixed in 1.2.3\n- org.apache.storm:storm-kafka-client (Maven): affected from 1.1.0; fixed in 1.2.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-11779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11779/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-11779","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-25pc-85qf-6j69"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Storm","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending malicious serialized data to the Storm UI daemon when Kafka modules are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"storm","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"In Apache Storm versions 1.1.0 to 1.2.2, when the user is using the storm-kafka-client or storm-kafka modules, it is possible to cause the Storm UI daemon to deserialize user provided bytes into a Java class.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Apache Storm","id":"CVE-2018-11779","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in Apache SpamAssassin","id":"CVE-2018-11780"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.2.3"],"introduced":["1.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.storm:storm-kafka","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-25pc-85qf-6j69"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.2.3"],"introduced":["1.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.storm:storm-kafka","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.storm/storm-kafka","source":"GHSA-25pc-85qf-6j69"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.2.3"],"introduced":["1.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.storm:storm-kafka-client","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-25pc-85qf-6j69"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.2.3"],"introduced":["1.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.storm:storm-kafka-client","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.storm/storm-kafka-client","source":"GHSA-25pc-85qf-6j69"}],"prev":{"headline":"UnixAuthenticationService in Apache Ranger was updated to correctly handle user input to avoid Stack-based buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2018-11778"},"products":["Storm"],"published":"2019-07-25","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Shell Command Injection Vulnerability in Nimbus Thrift Server","id":"CVE-2021-38294","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unsafe Pre-Authentication Deserialization In Workers","id":"CVE-2021-40865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Storm remote code execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2015-3188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Storm Client: RCE through Unsafe Deserialization via Kerberos TGT Credential Handling","id":"CVE-2026-35337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code execution in org.apache.storm:storm-core","id":"CVE-2018-1331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Storm it is possible for the owner of a topology to trick the supervisor to launch a worker as a different, non-root, user","id":"CVE-2017-9799","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Apache"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending malicious serialized data to the Storm UI daemon when Kafka modules are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11779/"}
