CVE-2022-37022: Apache Geode deserialization of untrusted data flaw when using JMX over RMI on Java 11

Severity: high (CVSS 8.8 v3.1)
Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
EPSS: 1.5% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
Public exploit or detection template: none known
Published: 2022-08-31 · updated 2026-06-17
Weakness: CWE-502

Description

Apache Geode versions up to 1.12.2 and 1.13.2 are vulnerable to a deserialization of untrusted data flaw when using JMX over RMI on Java 11. Any user wishing to protect against deserialization attacks involving JMX or RMI should upgrade to Apache Geode 1.15. Use of 1.15 on Java 11 will automatically protect JMX over RMI against deserialization attacks. This should have no impact on performance since it only affects JMX/RMI which Gfsh uses to communicate with the JMX Manager which is hosted on a Locator.

Affected products

Apache Software Foundation Apache Geode: through 1.12.2; from 1.13.0 through 1.13.2
