             Summary: Velocity 2.x - Velocity.properties - Additional introspector.restrict.classes
                 Key: VELOCITY-982
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-982
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 2.4.2
            Reporter: John Tal


In Velocity.properties, the introspector.restrict.classes entries.

I assume additions to this file in that section resolved for CVE-2020-13936 (templating can interact with the system)?  Please confirm what commits or classes, settings did indeed resolve CVE-2020-13936.  We really need to know because we are stuck on 1.7 and need to fork/patch.

Along these lines of further security hardening, aren't there more entries needed in the introspect.restrict.classes section such as:

java.lang.ProcessBuilder

java.lang.Reflect

javax.management.MBeanServer

java.net.Socket

javax.script.ScriptEngine

 

Finally, please confirm whether Velocity is largely in CVE patch mode only and is not really an active project given that there is much more talk today about Apache FreeMarker.  Just trying to determine the level of support and engagement from the Apache Velocity maintainers.
