CVE-2018-8013
CVSS v3.1
9.8
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 Batik versions 1.x prior to 1.10
Description
The issue is related to the deserialization of subclasses of
AbstractDocument in Apache Batik. When deserializing, the class takes a string from the input stream as the class name and uses it to call the no-arg constructor of the class. This can be exploited by an attacker to access protected data or cause a denial of service using the HTTP protocol. The fix involves checking the class type before calling newInstance during deserialization.Recommendations
For Apache Batik versions 1.x prior to 1.10, the recommendation is to check the class type before calling
newInstance during deserialization to prevent exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Deserialization of Untrusted Data
