CVE-2020-13942
It is possible to inject malicious OGNL or MVEL scripts into the /context.json public endpoint.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 68.5%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
It is possible to inject malicious OGNL or MVEL scripts into the /context.json public endpoint. This was partially fixed in 1.5.1 but a new attack vector was found. In Apache Unomi version 1.5.2 scripts are now completely filtered from the input. It is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest available version of the 1.5.x release to fix this problem.
