CVE-2024-45747

Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in GeoServer ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.

### Summary A server-side template injection (SSTI) vulnerability exist that allows an authenticated administrator to upload FreeMarker templates containing malicious content that can execute OS commands and read from or write to arbitrary files on the server. These FreeMarker templates are used in a plain GeoServer instance (no extension or community modules) for WMS GetFeatureInfo HTML and JSON and WMS GetMap KML and GeoRSS output formats. ### Details The org.geoserver.template.TemplateUtils.getSafeConfiguration() method attempts to block access to the class freemarker.template.utility.Execute but it is still possible to gain access to it and other sensitive functionality by chaining a specific sequence of method calls. ### Impact This vulnerability can lead to executing arbitrary code and reading and writing arbitrary files. ### Resolution GeoServer 2.27.0 addresses this vulnerability with several new application properties: * ``GEOSERVER_FREEMARKER_BLOCK_LIST`` * ``GEOSERVER_FREEMARKER_ALLOW_LIST`` * ``GEOSERVER_FREEMARKER_API_EXPOSED`` These application properties default to restricting the objects template authors can access, and limit access to "getter" methods used to access object properties.
