Apache IoTDB 2.0.11 Authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery


Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Product web page: https://iotdb.apache.org
Affected version: 2.0.11

Summary: Apache IoTDB is an industrial IoT time-series database
management system that adopts a lightweight architecture with
edge-cloud collaboration, supporting integrated collection,
storage, management, and analysis of IoT time-series data. It
features multi-protocol compatibility, ultra-high compression
ratio, high-throughput read/write capabilities, industrial-grade
stability, and minimal maintenance requirements.

Desc: Apache IoTDB is affected by an authenticated server-side
request forgery (SSRF) in its user-defined function mechanism.
CREATE FUNCTION ... USING URI makes the DataNode download the
UDF implementation from a user-supplied URI, validating only
that the scheme is set and not file, with no host/scheme allowlist.
A user holding the USE_UDF privilege (grantable to non-super users)
can therefore force the server to issue arbitrary outbound requests
to internal services or cloud-metadata endpoints. The fetched
resource is a remote JAR that is then loaded and executed; because
USE_UDF already grants server-side code execution, the JAR load
is not a new capability, but the unauthenticated, plain-HTTP,
integrity-unchecked remote fetch is an additional supply-chain/MITM
hardening gap.

Tested on: Ubuntu 22.04
           Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK 21.0.6 (LTS)
