CVE-2021-39145
CVSS v3.1
8.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
XStream versions prior to 1.4.18
Description
The issue allows a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host by manipulating the processed input stream. This can be done when using affected versions of XStream, a library to serialize objects to XML and back again. Users who set up XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types are not affected.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.4.18, update to version 1.4.18 or later, which uses a whitelist by default instead of a blacklist, to prevent the execution of arbitrary code. As a temporary workaround, consider setting up XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types to minimize the risk of exploitation.
