Security advisory: Pre-authentication RCE (default credentials) in ObjectDB 2.9.5 server mode (ObjectDB Software)

Description (en)

0day Rubbish Research Team is publicly disclosing a vulnerability in ObjectDB 2.9.5 server mode (ObjectDB Software). 
The research is published and a proof-of-concept is available.

Pre-authentication RCE (default credentials) (CVSS 9.8, pre-authentication)

ObjectDB 2.9.5 server mode (port 6136, proprietary binary protocol) has a critical remote code execution vulnerability: 
JDOQL query filter evaluation allows arbitrary static-method reflective invocation. Factory default credentials 
admin/admin grant full privileges with no forced change; the IP check accepts any source IP when the user has no ip 
attribute. A malicious JDOQL filter such as java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd) != null is evaluated server-side: 
QNF.q() loads any class (no class-name allowlist), MCN.l() calls Method.invoke with setAccessible(true), reaching 
Runtime.exec - the server-side Java process runs as root, yielding uid=0(root) RCE. Dynamically verified.

Impact: Full read of the host filesystem and JVM environment as root, arbitrary OS command execution, and full control 
of the ObjectDB host and database.
