Apache Dubbo RCE on customers via Script route poisoning (Nashorn script injection)

CVE-2021-30181

What is CVE-2021-30181?

Apache Dubbo prior to 2.6.9 and 2.7.9 supports Script routing which will enable a customer to route the request to the right server. These rules are used by the customers when making a request in order to find the right endpoint. When parsing these rules, Dubbo customers use ScriptEngine and run the rule provided by the script which by default may enable executing arbitrary code.
