CVE-2022-34916 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Apache Flume versions 1.4.0 through 1.10.0 are vulnerable to a remote code execution (RCE) attack when a configuration uses a JMS Source with a JNDI LDAP data source URI when an attacker has control of the target LDAP server. This issue is fixed by limiting JNDI to allow only the use of the java protocol or no protocol.. EPSS estimates a 2.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
