CVE-2024-23683: Trust Boundary Violation due to Incomplete `Blacklist` in Test Failure Processing in Ares
(updated )
This allows an attacker to create special subclasses of InvocationTargetException that escape the exception sanitization because JUnit extracts the cause in a trusted context before the exception reaches Ares. This means that arbitrary student code can be executed in a trusted context, and that in turn allows disabling Ares and having full control over the system.
