Critical
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apache XML-RPC library version 3.1.3
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in an ex:serializable element. This is due to the library's failure to properly verify data from external sources. Exploitation of this issue can enable a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a specially formed serialized Java object with the ex:serializable element.
Recommendations
For Apache XML-RPC library version 3.1.3, consider disabling the use of ex:serializable elements until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the library to minimize the risk of remote code execution. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
