CVE-2024-23682: Artemis Java Test Sandbox Class Loading Escape
Artemis Java Test Sandbox versions before 1.8.0 are vulnerable to a sandbox escape when an attacker includes class files in a package that Ares trusts. An attacker can abuse this issue to execute arbitrary Java when a victim executes the supposedly sandboxed code.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This flaw weakens a Java sandbox used to run test code. A malicious low-privileged user could package classes in a trusted location so that a victim runs code believed to be sandboxed, but arbitrary Java executes instead.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation where the sandbox protects production, shared, or educational code-execution infrastructure. The issue is high impact, but supplied evidence does not indicate internet-remote exploitation or known active abuse.
Technical view
Artemis Java Test Sandbox before 1.8.0 has a class-loading sandbox escape involving packages trusted by Ares. The CVSS vector indicates local attack, low complexity, low privileges, required user interaction, changed scope, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely in systems using de.tum.in.ase:artemis-java-test-sandbox before 1.8.0 to execute untrusted or semi-trusted Java submissions, such as automated testing or educational code-evaluation workflows.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. Exploitation requires a victim to execute supposedly sandboxed code containing attacker-controlled class files in a trusted package context.
Researcher notes
Key uncertainty is the exact affected version range beyond “before 1.8.0” and package metadata showing version 0. Treat vendor advisories and the 1.8.0 release as the primary remediation evidence.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade artemis-java-test-sandbox to version 1.8.0 or later.
Review the Ares and GitHub advisory pages for vendor guidance.
Temporarily avoid executing untrusted Java submissions on vulnerable sandbox versions.
Run untrusted code only inside separately hardened infrastructure until upgraded.
Validation and detection
Inventory dependency manifests for de.tum.in.ase:artemis-java-test-sandbox.
Confirm deployed runtime artifacts are version 1.8.0 or later.
Identify workflows that execute user-submitted Java through Ares or Artemis sandboxing.
Review sandbox execution logs for unexpected Java behavior around untrusted submissions.
