Attack Tree Path: Exploit Registry Vulnerabilities -> Unsecured Registry Access -> No Authentication/Authorization on Registry

  • Attack Vector: Lack of authentication and authorization on the Dubbo registry (e.g., ZooKeeper, Nacos).
  • Action: Attacker accesses the registry management interface (e.g., ZooKeeper UI, Nacos Console) without credentials.
  • Critical Node: Outcome: Modify Service Registrations, Steal Credentials, DoS Registry
    • Impact: Critical - Attacker can manipulate service registrations, potentially redirecting traffic to malicious providers, steal registry credentials for further access, or cause a Denial of Service by disrupting the registry.
    • Likelihood: High
    • Effort: Low
    • Skill Level: Low
    • Detection Difficulty: Medium

Attack Tree Path: Exploit Provider Vulnerabilities via Dubbo -> Insecure Deserialization -> Exploit Dubbo's Default Serialization (Hessian2)

  • Attack Vector: Exploiting insecure deserialization vulnerabilities in Dubbo's default Hessian2 serialization.
  • Action: Attacker sends a malicious payload within a Dubbo request, targeting deserialization flaws in Hessian2.
  • Critical Node: Outcome: Remote Code Execution on Provider Server
    • Impact: Critical - Successful exploitation leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the Dubbo Provider server, allowing full system compromise.
    • Likelihood: High
    • Effort: Medium
    • Skill Level: Medium
    • Detection Difficulty: Low

Attack Tree Path: Exploit Provider Vulnerabilities via Dubbo -> Exploit Vulnerabilities in Service Implementation Logic

  • Attack Vector: Exploiting common web application vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL Injection, Command Injection) present in the Dubbo Provider's service implementation code.
  • Action: Attacker crafts Dubbo method calls to trigger vulnerabilities within the Provider's service logic.
  • Critical Node: Outcome: Data Breach, Code Execution on Provider Server
    • Impact: Critical - Exploiting these vulnerabilities can result in Data Breaches by accessing sensitive data or Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the Provider server.
    • Likelihood: Medium
    • Effort: Medium
    • Skill Level: Medium
    • Detection Difficulty: Medium

Attack Tree Path: Exploit Authentication and Authorization Weaknesses in Dubbo Framework -> Weak or Missing Authentication Mechanisms -> No Authentication Enabled

  • Attack Vector: Absence of authentication mechanisms in the Dubbo framework itself.
  • Action: Attacker directly accesses and invokes any Dubbo service without needing any credentials or authentication.
  • Critical Node: Outcome: Full Access to Services, Data Manipulation, Service Disruption
    • Impact: Critical - Attacker gains full, unauthorized access to all Dubbo services, enabling data manipulation, service disruption, and potentially further system compromise.
    • Likelihood: Medium
    • Effort: Low
    • Skill Level: Low
    • Detection Difficulty: Medium

Attack Tree Path: Supply Chain Attacks (Dubbo Dependencies) -> Compromised Dubbo Libraries or Dependencies

  • Attack Vector: Using compromised or vulnerable Dubbo libraries or their dependencies.
  • Action: Application unknowingly includes backdoored or vulnerable libraries, potentially through dependency confusion or compromised repositories.
  • Critical Node: Outcome: Code Execution, Data Breach, Backdoor Access within the Application
    • Impact: Critical - Compromised dependencies can lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE), Data Breaches, and the establishment of persistent backdoors within the application.
    • Likelihood: Low
    • Effort: Medium
    • Skill Level: Medium
    • Detection Difficulty: High
