A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in the server-side template rendering mechanism used by the Glassfish gadget handler. The application processes .xml files and evaluates user-supplied values within a context where Expression Language (EL) “expressions” are processed without proper sanitization or escaping. By injecting expressions such as #{7*7}, the server returns 49, confirming server-side EL evaluation. This issue allows a remote attacker to fully compromise the underlying host, enabling capabilities as reading/modifying data, executing arbitrary commands, persistence, and lateral movement.

Security Vulnerability Index
Page 1 / 2An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in GlassFish's Administration Console. A user with access to the panel can send crafted requests that allow the execution of arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the application service user.
In Eclipse GlassFish since version 6.2.5 it is possible to perform a Server Side Request Forgery attack in specific endpoints.
In Eclipse GlassFish version 7.0.15 is possible to perform Stored Cross-site scripting attacks in the Administration Console.
In Eclipse GlassFish version 7.0.16 or earlier it is possible to perform Login Brute Force attacks as there is no limitation in the number of failed login attempts.
In Eclipse GlassFish version 7.0.15 is possible to perform Stored Cross-site scripting attacks in the Administration Console.
In Eclipse GlassFish version 7.0.15 is possible to perform Stored Cross-site Scripting attacks by modifying the configuration file in the underlying operating system.
In Eclipse GlassFish version 7.0.15 is possible to perform Reflected Cross-site scripting attacks in the Administration Console.
In Eclipse Glassfish versions before 7.0.17, The Host HTTP parameter could cause the web application to redirect to the specified URL, when the requested endpoint is '/management/domain'. By modifying the URL value to a malicious site, an attacker may successfully launch a phishing scam and steal user credentials.
In Eclipse Glassfish versions prior to 7.0.10, a URL redirection vulnerability to untrusted sites existed. This vulnerability is caused by the vulnerability (CVE-2023-41080) in the Apache code included in GlassFish. This vulnerability only affects applications that are explicitly deployed to the root context ('/').
