GHSA-qqpg-mvqg-649v

Logback allows an attacker to instantiate classes already present on the class path

Quick fix

GHSA-qqpg-mvqg-649v — ch.qos.logback:logback-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>1.5.25</version> for ch.qos.logback:logback-core

Details

ACE vulnerability in configuration file processing by QOS.CH logback-core up to and including version 1.5.24 in Java applications, allows an attacker to instantiate classes already present on the class path by compromising an existing logback configuration file.

The instantiation of a potentially malicious Java class requires that said class is present on the user's class-path. In addition, the attacker must have write access to a configuration file. However, after successful instantiation, the instance is very likely to be discarded with no further ado.
