-------------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade Apache configuration to 2.7
Key: JAMES-3192
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3192
Project: James Server
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: configuration
Affects Versions: master
Reporter: Benoit Tellier
Fix For: master
CVE-2020-1953 enables Remote code execution in Apache Commons Configuration
Apache Commons Configuration uses a third-party library to parse YAML files
which by default allows the instantiation of classes if the YAML includes
special statements. Apache Commons Configuration versions 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5,
2.6 did not change the default settings of this library. So if a YAML file was
loaded from an untrusted source, it could therefore load and execute code out
of the control of the host application.
James server don't rely on YAML files for its configuration (only on XML and
properties) thus we are likely unaffected by the aforementioned CVE but
upgrading would be wise.
