GHSA-825g-mm5v-ggq4 Apache Syncope allows malicious administrators to inject Groovy code

• Maven org.apache.syncope.core:syncope-core-spring: < 3.0.14 → fixed in 3.0.14 • Maven org.apache.syncope.core:syncope-core-spring: >= 4.0.0-M0, < 4.0.2 → fixed in 4.0.2

Apache Syncope offers the ability to extend / customize the base behavior on every deployment by allowing to provide custom implementations of a few Java interfaces; such implementations can be provided either as Java or Groovy classes, with the latter being particularly attractive as the machinery is set for runtime reload. Such a feature has been available for a while, but recently it was discovered that a malicious administrator can inject Groovy code that can be executed remotely by a running Apache Syncope Core instance. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.0.14 / 4.0.2, which fix this issue by forcing the Groovy code to run in a sandbox.
