What is CVE-2019-17633?
CVE-2019-17633 is a high-severity vulnerability in The Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Che, published on 19 Dec 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
For Eclipse Che versions 6.16 to 7.3.0, with both authentication and TLS disabled, visiting a malicious web site could trigger the start of an arbitrary Che workspace. Che with no authentication and no TLS is not usually deployed on a public network but is often used for local installations (e.g. on personal laptops). In that case, even if the Che API is not exposed externally, some javascript running in the local browser is able to send requests to it.
