Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Eclipse Equinox p2 (version now known). Affected by this issue is some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a inclusion of functionality from untrusted control sphere vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-829. The product imports, requires, or includes executable functionality (such as a library) from a source that is outside of the intended control sphere. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In Eclipse p2, installable units are able to alter the Eclipse Platform installation and the local machine via touchpoints during installation. Those touchpoints can, for example, alter the command-line used to start the application, injecting things like agent or other settings that usually require particular attention in term of security. Although p2 has built-in strategies to ensure artifacts are signed and then to help establish trust, there is no such strategy for the metadata part that does configure such touchpoints. As a result, it's possible to install a unit that will run malicious code during installation without user receiving any warning about this installation step being risky when coming from untrusted source.

The weakness was shared 07/08/2022. The advisory is shared for download at bugs.eclipse.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2021-41037 since 09/13/2021. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
