Description

Apache Submarine: Fix CVE-2022-1471 SnakeYaml unsafe deserialization (CVE-2023-46302)

Details

Apache Software Foundation Apache Submarine has a bug when serializing against yaml. The bug is caused by snakeyaml https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-1471 .

Apache Submarine uses JAXRS to define REST endpoints. In order to handle YAML requests (using application/yaml content-type), it defines a YamlEntityProvider entity provider that will process all incoming YAML requests. In order to unmarshal the request, the readFrom method is invoked, passing the entityStream containing the user-supplied data in submarine-server/server-core/src/main/java/org/apache/submarine/server/utils/YamlUtils.java.

We have now fixed this issue in the new version by replacing to jackson-dataformat-yaml. This issue affects Apache Submarine: from 0.7.0 before 0.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.8.0, which fixes this issue. If using the version smaller than 0.8.0 and not want to upgrade, you can try cherry-pick PR https://github.com/apache/submarine/pull/1054 and rebuild the submart-server image to fix this.

Reason for inclusion in AVID: The CVE describes a deserialization vulnerability in Apache Submarine’s YAML processing (CWE-502) that can be exploited via untrusted YAML input. This lies squarely in the software supply chain of AI systems (AI platform component used to build/run AI workloads) and could impact security/safety of AI pipelines. The advisory notes the fix and upgrade path, indicating an actionable vulnerability in AI software stacks. Therefore it meets AVID criteria for AI-related supply chain vulnerability within general-purpose AI systems.
