CyberDudeBivash Global Vulnerability Report CVE-2025-58782: JNDI Injection and Remote Code Execution in Apache Jackrabbit
Date: September 8, 2025
By: Bivash Kumar Nayak, Founder of CyberDudeBivash — Your Global Threat Intelligence Authority
1. Executive Summary
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-58782) in Apache Jackrabbit Core and JCR Commons (versions 1.0.0 through 2.22.1) introduces a JNDI injection flaw—enabling attackers to perform deserialization attacks that can lead to remote code execution (RCE). This defect exists where the JndiRepositoryFactory accepts untrusted JNDI URIs for JCR lookups Daily CyberSecurityopenwall.com.
Apache Jackrabbit is widely used in enterprise content management systems, making this vulnerability a serious threat with the potential for widespread compromise.
Root Cause: Unsafe handling of JNDI URIs through the JndiRepositoryFactory enables injection of malicious references, culminating in deserialization of untrusted data Daily CyberSecurityopenwall.com.
Exploitation Path:
Attacker crafts a malicious JNDI URI.
This URI triggers deserialization of attacker-controlled data.
Remote code execution on vulnerable server allows takeover of content repositories and underlying systems.
Destructive Consequences: Full system compromise, data theft, sabotage, supply chain infiltration, and domain-wide lateral movement.
Reputational & Compliance Damage: Breaches in ECM systems expose sensitive corporate content and may violate GDPR, CCPA, and other regulations.
Enterprise Reach Amplified: The pervasive integration of Jackrabbit across large-scale Java applications dramatically elevates the threat scope.
4. Mitigation & Incident Response
Immediate Actions
Upgrade to Jackrabbit version 2.22.2 or later—this removes JNDI lookup by default. Users must now explicitly enable it and review deployment needs Daily CyberSecurity.
Restrict JNDI Usage: Avoid exposing JNDI lookups to untrusted input.
Implement Network Segmentation: Limit access to JCR repositories to trusted networks.
Enable Runtime Monitoring: Use EDR/XDR tools to spot anomalous deserialization or remote loads.
In CyberDudeBivash labs, simulated exploit scenarios demonstrated that malicious JNDI references could trigger code execution on content servers, leading to payload deployment and pivot into internal systems.
To defend proactively, our Threat Analyzer App now includes:
JNDI abuse detection for Jackrabbit servers
Indicators of compromise for suspicious class loaders
6. Strategic Recommendations
Developers & Architects: Harden your content store architecture and disable unsafe JNDI by default.
IT Teams: Conduct immediate patch deployments and perform threat hunts on archive systems.
CIOs & CISOs: Treat ecosystem components like Jackrabbit as crown jewel assets—segmented, monitored, and swiftly patched.
