CVE-2024-43383: Apache Lucene.Net.Replicator: Remote Code Execution in Lucene.Net.Replicator

[Paul Irwin <paulirwin () apache org>]

Affected versions:

- Apache Lucene.Net.Replicator 4.8.0-beta00005 through 4.8.0-beta00016

Description:

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Lucene.Net.Replicator.

This issue affects Apache Lucene.NET's Replicator library: from 4.8.0-beta00005 through 4.8.0-beta00016.

An attacker that can intercept traffic between a replication client and server, or control the target replication node 
URL, can provide a specially-crafted JSON response that is deserialized as an attacker-provided exception type. This 
can result in remote code execution or other potential unauthorized access.


Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.8.0-beta00017, which fixes the issue.
