Apache Geode configuration request authorization vulnerability

  • Disclosed: 14.05.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 11:20

When an Apache Geode cluster before v1.4.0 is operating in secure mode, the Geode configuration service does not properly authorize configuration requests. This allows an unprivileged user who gains access to the Geode locator to extract configuration data and previously deployed application code.
