CVE-2023-51653
CWE-74Published: February 22, 2024· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
Hertzbeat is a real-time monitoring system. In the implementation of `JmxCollectImpl.java`, `JMXConnectorFactory.connect` is vulnerable to JNDI injection. The corresponding interface is `/api/monitor/detect`. If there is a URL field, the address will be used by default. When the URL is `service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://xxxxxxx:1099/localHikari`, it can be exploited to cause remote code execution. Version 1.4.1 contains a fix for this issue.
Risk Analysis
Hertzbeat is vulnerable to JNDI injection via the JMXConnectorFactory in its monitoring system. This flaw allows remote attackers to achieve remote code execution by providing a malicious URL.
The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low complexity, but no public exploit is currently known.
Upgrade to Hertzbeat version 1.4.1 or later to resolve the JNDI injection vulnerability.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-51653 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.
