Overview

org.apache.syncope.ext.flowable:syncope-ext-flowable-bpmn is an Open Source system for managing digital identities in enterprise environments,

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization through FlowableWorkflowContext.processEngineConfiguration and the Groovy script engine used for scriptTask evaluation. An administrator with the right entitlements can achieve remote code execution by supplying malicious Groovy code in a scripted workflow connector or script task. This affects users who run Syncope’s Flowable-based workflow or scripted connector features, allowing crafted scripts to execute with server-side privileges and compromise the application server.
