EchelonGraph scoreLOW confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.2 under the CNA's CVSS (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

GeoServer has a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in processing FreeMarker templates

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.
