CVE-2021-39147

CVSS v3.1

8.5

High

VectorAV: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. Users who set up XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types are not affected. The vulnerability is related to the use of a blacklist, which cannot be secured for general purpose, and has been addressed in XStream 1.4.18 by using a whitelist by default.
Recommendations For versions prior to 1.4.18, setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider configuring the security framework to only allow the necessary types until a patch is available.
