CVE-2023-52291 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Apache StreamPark (incubating), published on 17 Jul 2024. 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

In streampark, the project module integrates Maven's compilation capabilities. The input parameter validation is not strict, allowing attackers to insert commands for remote command execution, The prerequisite for a successful attack is that the user needs to log in to the streampark system and have system-level permissions.
