CVE-2021-40146: A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability exists in Apache Any23 YAMLExtractor.java

A Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was discovered in the Any23 YAMLExtractor.java file and is known to affect Any23 versions < 2.5. RCE vulnerabilities allow a malicious actor to execute any code of their choice on a remote machine over LAN, WAN, or internet. RCE belongs to the broader class of arbitrary code execution (ACE) vulnerabilities.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Apache Any23 before version 2.5 has a reported remote code execution issue in YAMLExtractor.java. If a business system uses vulnerable Any23 components to process untrusted content, an attacker could potentially run code on that system. The public bundle does not provide CVSS scoring or confirmed exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely where Apache Any23 below 2.5 is embedded in applications or services that process untrusted YAML or extraction inputs. Treat this as a high-priority remediation item where Any23 handles external content, because the reported impact is remote code execution despite incomplete scoring data. Mitigation focus: Inventory applications and dependencies for Apache Any23 usage.; Prioritize any Apache Any23 version below 2.5 for remediation.; Check Apache advisory guidance before selecting final upgrade or mitigation actions..
