Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apache Tika up to 1.17. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the component tika-server. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a command injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-77. The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

From Apache Tika versions 1.7 to 1.17, clients could send carefully crafted headers to tika-server that could be used to inject commands into the command line of the server running tika-server. This vulnerability only affects those running tika-server on a server that is open to untrusted clients. The mitigation is to upgrade to Tika 1.18.

The weakness was published 04/25/2018 with Apache (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at lists.apache.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2018-1335 since 12/07/2017. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.
