CWE-20Published: August 21, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Apache Flume versions 1.4.0 through 1.10.0 are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JMS Source with a JNDI LDAP data source URI when an attacker has control of the target LDAP server. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI to allow only the use of the java protocol or no protocol.

Risk Analysis

Apache Flume is vulnerable to remote code execution when configured with a JMS Source using a JNDI LDAP data source URI. An attacker controlling the LDAP server can execute arbitrary code, posing a critical threat to the system.

This is a remotely exploitable flaw with low complexity, but there is no known public exploit and it is not in the KEV catalog.

Recommended Action

Upgrade Apache Flume and ensure JNDI usage is restricted to the java protocol or disabled entirely.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-34916 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
