RCE in H2 Console

Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.

QFinch assessment

H2 Console in versions since 1.1.100 (2008-10-14) to 2.0.204 (2021-12-21) inclusive allows loading of custom classes from remote servers through JNDI.

Potential impact

H2 Console in versions since 1.1.100 (2008-10-14) to 2.0.204 (2021-12-21) inclusive allows loading of custom classes from remote servers through JNDI. H2 Console doesn't accept remote connections by default. If remote access was enabled explicitly and some protection method (such as security constraint) wasn't set, an intruder can load own custom class and execute its code in a process with H2 Console (H2 Server process or a web server with H2 Console servlet). It is also possible to load them by creation a linked table in these versions, but it requires ADMIN privileges and user with ADMIN privileges has full access to the Java process by design. These privileges should never be granted to untrusted users.
