Summary

Fix high severity security issue in dubbo-rpc/dubbo-rpc-triple/src/main/java/org/apache/dubbo/rpc/protocol/tri/rest/util/RequestUtils.java.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-001
Severity HIGH
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-001
File dubbo-rpc/dubbo-rpc-triple/src/main/java/org/apache/dubbo/rpc/protocol/tri/rest/util/RequestUtils.java:91
Assessment Confirmed exploitable

Description: RequestUtils.getFormParametersMap() and ParamArgumentResolver collect and process all form parameters from HTTP requests without any limit on the number of parameters or their sizes. The LinkedHashMap is pre-allocated to paramNames.size() without bounds checking, allowing an attacker to trigger excessive memory allocation with a single malicious request.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: An attacker sends an HTTP POST request with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded containing thousands of parameters (e.g., 'a1=x&a2=x&...&a100000=x') to any Triple REST endpoint that.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-001 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a Java service - vulnerabilities in servlets/controllers are remotely exploitable.

Changes

  • dubbo-rpc/dubbo-rpc-triple/src/main/java/org/apache/dubbo/rpc/protocol/tri/rest/util/RequestUtils.java

Verification

  • Build passes
  • Scanner re-scan confirms fix
  • LLM code review passed

Security Invariant

Property: The security boundary is maintained under adversarial input

        HttpRequest mockRequest = new HttpRequest() {
            private final Set<String> names = generateParamNames(paramCount);
            
            @Override
            public Collection<String> formParameterNames() {
                return names;
            }
            
            @Override
            public List<String> formParameterValues(String name) {
                return Collections.singletonList("value");
            }
        };
        
        long beforeMemory = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() - Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
        
        Map<String, List<String>> result = RequestUtils.getFormParametersMap(mockRequest);
        
        long afterMemory = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() - Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
        long memoryUsed = afterMemory - beforeMemory;
        
        // Memory usage should be proportional to input size with reasonable constant factor
        long maxExpectedMemory = paramCount * 200L; // ~200 bytes per parameter (generous bound)
        
        assertTrue(memoryUsed < maxExpectedMemory || paramCount <= 10,
            String.format("Memory usage %d exceeded bound %d for %d parameters", 
                memoryUsed, maxExpectedMemory, paramCount));
        
        assertEquals(paramCount, result.size());
    }
    
    private Set<String> generateParamNames(int count) {
        Set<String> names = new HashSet<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            names.add("param" + i);
        }
        return names;
    }
}

This test guards against regressions — it's useful independent of the code change above.
