Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-17 22:21 – Updated: 2026-04-27 16:19
VLAI
Summary
OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation: Privileged Java agent injection allows arbitrary host file overwrite via untrusted TMPDIR
Details

Summary

A flaw in the Java agent injection path allows a local attacker controlling a Java workload to overwrite arbitrary host files when Java injection is enabled and OBI is running with elevated privileges. The injector trusted TMPDIR from the target process and used unsafe file creation semantics, enabling both filesystem boundary escape and symlink-based file clobbering.

Remediation

Upgrade to https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-ebpf-instrumentation/releases/tag/v0.8.0.

Details

The issue is in the Java agent staging logic in pkg/internal/java/java_inject.go.

The injector reads TMPDIR from the target process environment in findTempDir(...) and validates it with dirOK(...). In the vulnerable implementation, dirOK(...) used filepath.Join(root, dir), where root is /proc/<pid>/root. If dir is an absolute path, filepath.Join discards root, so values such as /etc or /proc/1/root/etc are resolved on the host instead of within the target process root.

That validated value is later reused in copyAgent(...) to build the destination path for the Java agent JAR. As a result, a malicious process can influence the privileged injector to write outside the intended /proc/<pid>/root boundary.

The file creation step further increases impact. The vulnerable code created the destination with os.OpenFile(..., os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE|os.O_TRUNC, 0o644). Because this does not use exclusive creation or symlink protections, an attacker can pre-create a symlink at the chosen destination, for example in a writable temp directory, and cause the injector to truncate or overwrite another file writable by the privileged OBI process.

Relevant code paths:

  • pkg/internal/java/java_inject.go: findTempDir(...)
  • pkg/internal/java/java_inject.go: dirOK(...)
  • pkg/internal/java/java_inject.go: copyAgent(...)

In short, the vulnerability is caused by two issues acting together:

  1. Untrusted TMPDIR from the target process can escape the intended target root.
  2. The destination JAR is written with unsafe open semantics that allow clobbering via symlink or attacker-controlled destination selection.

PoC

Prerequisites:

  • OBI is running with elevated privileges on the host.
  • Java injection is enabled.
  • The attacker can run or control a Java process on the same host.

Reproduction outline for the path escape case:

  1. Start a Java process with a controlled environment variable such as:
  2. TMPDIR=/etc
  3. or TMPDIR=/proc/1/root/etc
  4. Ensure the process is discovered by OBI and selected for Java agent injection.
  5. Wait for the injector to stage the agent JAR.
  6. Observe that the injector attempts to write obi-java-agent.jar outside /proc/<pid>/root, under the attacker-controlled host path.

Reproduction outline for the symlink clobber case:

  1. Start a Java process with TMPDIR=/tmp or another writable temp directory.
  2. Before injection occurs, create a symlink at the expected destination:
  3. /tmp/obi-java-agent.jar -> /path/to/target/file
  4. Trigger Java agent injection for that process.
  5. Observe that the privileged injector opens the symlink target with truncate semantics and overwrites the linked file contents.

Code evidence:

  • findTempDir(...) reads ie.FileInfo.Service.EnvVars["TMPDIR"]
  • dirOK(...) validates using filepath.Join(root, dir)
  • copyAgent(...) writes the JAR into the selected temp directory
  • the vulnerable write uses os.OpenFile(..., os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE|os.O_TRUNC, 0o644)

Impact

This is an arbitrary file overwrite / file clobber vulnerability in a privileged host component.

Affected users are deployments where:

  • Java injection is enabled
  • OBI runs with elevated privileges
  • untrusted local workloads can run Java processes on the same host

An attacker who can control a local Java process may be able to overwrite host files writable by OBI, which can lead to:

  • host integrity compromise
  • service disruption or denial of service
  • possible local privilege escalation depending on deployment details and overwritten targets

The issue is local rather than remote, but the impact is high because the vulnerable component operates with elevated privileges on the host.

Start a Java process with `TMPDIR=/tmp` or another writable temp directory.\n2. Before injection occurs, create a symlink at the expected destination:\n   - `/tmp/obi-java-agent.jar -\u003e /path/to/target/file`\n3. Trigger Java agent injection for that process.\n4. Observe that the privileged injector opens the symlink target with truncate semantics and overwrites the linked file contents.\n\nCode evidence:\n\n- `findTempDir(...)` reads `ie.FileInfo.Service.EnvVars[\"TMPDIR\"]`\n- `dirOK(...)` validates using `filepath.Join(root, dir)`\n- `copyAgent(...)` writes the JAR into the selected temp directory\n- the vulnerable write uses `os.OpenFile(..., os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREATE|os.O_TRUNC, 0o644)`\n\n### Impact\n\nThis is an arbitrary file overwrite / file clobber vulnerability in a privileged host component.\n\nAffected users are deployments where:\n\n- Java injection is enabled\n- OBI runs with elevated privileges\n- untrusted local workloads can run Java processes on the same host\n\nAn attacker who can control a local Java process may be able to overwrite host files writable by OBI, which can lead to:\n\n- host integrity compromise\n- service disruption or denial of service\n- possible local privilege escalation depending on deployment details and overwritten targets\n\nThe issue is local rather than remote, but the impact is high because the vulnerable component operates with elevated privileges on the host.",

Summary
Eclipse BaSyx Java Server SDK vulnerable to Path Traversal
Details

In Eclipse BaSyx Java Server SDK versions prior to 2.0.0-milestone-10, inadequate path normalization in the Submodel HTTP API allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform a path traversal attack. By supplying a maliciously crafted fileName parameter during a file upload operation, an attacker can bypass intended storage boundaries and write arbitrary files to any location on the host filesystem accessible by the Java process. This can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE) and complete system compromise.

Mitigation MIT-5.1
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
  • When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
  • Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
  • When validating filenames, use stringent allowlists that limit the character set to be used. If feasible, only allow a single "." character in the filename to avoid weaknesses such as CWE-23, and exclude directory separators such as "/" to avoid CWE-36. Use a list of allowable file extensions, which will help to avoid CWE-434.
  • Do not rely exclusively on a filtering mechanism that removes potentially dangerous characters. This is equivalent to a denylist, which may be incomplete (CWE-184). For example, filtering "/" is insufficient protection if the filesystem also supports the use of "\" as a directory separator. Another possible error could occur when the filtering is applied in a way that still produces dangerous data (CWE-182). For example, if "../" sequences are removed from the ".../...//" string in a sequential fashion, two instances of "../" would be removed from the original string, but the remaining characters would still form the "../" string.
Mitigation MIT-15
Architecture and Design

For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks entirely. Then, these modified values would be submitted to the server.

Mitigation MIT-20.1
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
  • Use a built-in path canonicalization function (such as realpath() in C) that produces the canonical version of the pathname, which effectively removes ".." sequences and symbolic links (CWE-23, CWE-59). This includes:
  • realpath() in C
  • getCanonicalPath() in Java
  • GetFullPath() in ASP.NET
  • realpath() or abs_path() in Perl
  • realpath() in PHP
Mitigation MIT-4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid [REF-1482].

Mitigation MIT-29
Operation

Strategy: Firewall

Use an application firewall that can detect attacks against this weakness. It can be beneficial in cases in which the code cannot be fixed (because it is controlled by a third party), as an emergency prevention measure while more comprehensive software assurance measures are applied, or to provide defense in depth [REF-1481].

Mitigation MIT-17
Architecture and Design Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

Run your code using the lowest privileges that are required to accomplish the necessary tasks [REF-76]. If possible, create isolated accounts with limited privileges that are only used for a single task. That way, a successful attack will not immediately give the attacker access to the rest of the software or its environment. For example, database applications rarely need to run as the database administrator, especially in day-to-day operations.

Mitigation MIT-21.1
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Enforcement by Conversion

  • When the set of acceptable objects, such as filenames or URLs, is limited or known, create a mapping from a set of fixed input values (such as numeric IDs) to the actual filenames or URLs, and reject all other inputs.
  • For example, ID 1 could map to "inbox.txt" and ID 2 could map to "profile.txt". Features such as the ESAPI AccessReferenceMap [REF-185] provide this capability.
Mitigation MIT-22
Architecture and Design Operation

Strategy: Sandbox or Jail

  • Run the code in a "jail" or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which files can be accessed in a particular directory or which commands can be executed by the software.
  • OS-level examples include the Unix chroot jail, AppArmor, and SELinux. In general, managed code may provide some protection. For example, java.io.FilePermission in the Java SecurityManager allows the software to specify restrictions on file operations.
  • This may not be a feasible solution, and it only limits the impact to the operating system; the rest of the application may still be subject to compromise.
  • Be careful to avoid CWE-243 and other weaknesses related to jails.
Mitigation MIT-34
Architecture and Design Operation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

  • Store library, include, and utility files outside of the web document root, if possible. Otherwise, store them in a separate directory and use the web server's access control capabilities to prevent attackers from directly requesting them. One common practice is to define a fixed constant in each calling program, then check for the existence of the constant in the library/include file; if the constant does not exist, then the file was directly requested, and it can exit immediately.
  • This significantly reduces the chance of an attacker being able to bypass any protection mechanisms that are in the base program but not in the include files. It will also reduce the attack surface.
Mitigation MIT-39
Implementation
  • Ensure that error messages only contain minimal details that are useful to the intended audience and no one else. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic (which can confuse users) or being too detailed (which may reveal more than intended). The messages should not reveal the methods that were used to determine the error. Attackers can use detailed information to refine or optimize their original attack, thereby increasing their chances of success.
  • If errors must be captured in some detail, record them in log messages, but consider what could occur if the log messages can be viewed by attackers. Highly sensitive information such as passwords should never be saved to log files.
  • Avoid inconsistent messaging that might accidentally tip off an attacker about internal state, such as whether a user account exists or not.
  • In the context of path traversal, error messages which disclose path information can help attackers craft the appropriate attack strings to move through the file system hierarchy.
Mitigation MIT-16
Operation Implementation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

When using PHP, configure the application so that it does not use register_globals. During implementation, develop the application so that it does not rely on this feature, but be wary of implementing a register_globals emulation that is subject to weaknesses such as CWE-95, CWE-621, and similar issues.

CAPEC-126: Path Traversal

An adversary uses path manipulation methods to exploit insufficient input validation of a target to obtain access to data that should be not be retrievable by ordinary well-formed requests. A typical variety of this attack involves specifying a path to a desired file together with dot-dot-slash characters, resulting in the file access API or function traversing out of the intended directory structure and into the root file system. By replacing or modifying the expected path information the access function or API retrieves the file desired by the attacker. These attacks either involve the attacker providing a complete path to a targeted file or using control characters (e.g. path separators (/ or \) and/or dots (.)) to reach desired directories or files.

CAPEC-64: Using Slashes and URL Encoding Combined to Bypass Validation Logic

This attack targets the encoding of the URL combined with the encoding of the slash characters. An attacker can take advantage of the multiple ways of encoding a URL and abuse the interpretation of the URL. A URL may contain special character that need special syntax handling in order to be interpreted. Special characters are represented using a percentage character followed by two digits representing the octet code of the original character (%HEX-CODE). For instance US-ASCII space character would be represented with %20. This is often referred as escaped ending or percent-encoding. Since the server decodes the URL from the requests, it may restrict the access to some URL paths by validating and filtering out the URL requests it received. An attacker will try to craft an URL with a sequence of special characters which once interpreted by the server will be equivalent to a forbidden URL. It can be difficult to protect against this attack since the URL can contain other format of encoding such as UTF-8 encoding, Unicode-encoding, etc.

CAPEC-76: Manipulating Web Input to File System Calls

An attacker manipulates inputs to the target software which the target software passes to file system calls in the OS. The goal is to gain access to, and perhaps modify, areas of the file system that the target software did not intend to be accessible.

CAPEC-78: Using Escaped Slashes in Alternate Encoding

This attack targets the use of the backslash in alternate encoding. An adversary can provide a backslash as a leading character and causes a parser to believe that the next character is special. This is called an escape. By using that trick, the adversary tries to exploit alternate ways to encode the same character which leads to filter problems and opens avenues to attack.

CAPEC-79: Using Slashes in Alternate Encoding

This attack targets the encoding of the Slash characters. An adversary would try to exploit common filtering problems related to the use of the slashes characters to gain access to resources on the target host. Directory-driven systems, such as file systems and databases, typically use the slash character to indicate traversal between directories or other container components. For murky historical reasons, PCs (and, as a result, Microsoft OSs) choose to use a backslash, whereas the UNIX world typically makes use of the forward slash. The schizophrenic result is that many MS-based systems are required to understand both forms of the slash. This gives the adversary many opportunities to discover and abuse a number of common filtering problems. The goal of this pattern is to discover server software that only applies filters to one version, but not the other.
