Vulnerability Information

Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: 2020-02-11
Patch Published: 2020-02-10
CVE [?]: CVE-2022-24112
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:apache:apisix

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is missing a vendor-supplied update.

Description

The version of Apache APISIX installed on the remote host is prior to 2.10.4 or 2.11.x prior to 2.12.1. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to flaw in the product's source code. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apache APISIX version 2.10.4, 12.12.1 or later.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Apache APISIX < 2.10.4 / 2.11.x < 2.12.1 RCE as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Misc. plugin family.
On the right side table select Apache APISIX < 2.10.4 / 2.11.x < 2.12.1 RCE plugin ID 160203.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl apache_apisix_2_12_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a apache_apisix_2_12_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - apache_apisix_2_12_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):
