CVSS 3.1
5.3 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:NCVE-2019-17572
Medium (5.3) in apache rocketmq. EPSS 3.0% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.apache.rocketmq:rocketmq-broker 4.6.1.
In Apache RocketMQ 4.2.0 to 4.6.0, when the automatic topic creation in the broker is turned on by default, an evil topic like “../../../../topic2020” is sent from rocketmq-client to the broker, a topic folder will be created in the parent directory in brokers, which leads to a directory traversal vulnerability. Users of the affected versions should apply one of the following: Upgrade to Apache RocketMQ 4.6.1 or later.
