CRITICAL 9.8REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2022-24082 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting infinity. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

If an on-premise installation of the Pega Platform is configured with the port for the JMX interface exposed to the Internet and port filtering is not properly configured, then it may be possible to upload serialized payloads to attack the underlying system. This does not affect systems running on PegaCloud due to its design and architecture.

pega infinity UPGRADE

Affected: >= 8.1.0 and < 8.7.3

Fixed in: 8.7.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 8.1.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy infinity || rpm -q infinity || infinity --version

2. UPGRADE to 8.7.3 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade infinity

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade infinity

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 8.1.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison infinity sudo apt install infinity=<VERSION_BEFORE_8.1.0> sudo apt-mark hold infinity

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list infinity sudo dnf downgrade infinity-<VERSION_BEFORE_8.1.0> sudo dnf versionlock add infinity

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
