CVE-2024-29178
Published: 18 July 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-29178 is a high-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Apache Streampark. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 8.6% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-29178 is a template injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-94, that affects versions of the software prior to 2.1.4. The flaw permits an authenticated user to inject templates that result in remote code execution on the server, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and low-privilege requirements with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An attacker who has already obtained valid login credentials can exploit the issue to execute arbitrary code on the server. Because successful authentication is required, the vulnerability is characterized as moderate-impact, yet the resulting code execution grants the attacker full control over the affected system.
Public advisories published via Apache mailing lists and OSS-Security in July 2024 direct all users to upgrade immediately to version 2.1.4 to eliminate the flaw.
The EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1202 on 2026-01-13 before receding to the current value of 0.0665, indicating a period of increased exploitation interest after disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
