GHSA-3ccq-5vw3-2p6x
XStream is vulnerable to an Arbitrary Code Execution attack
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream | < 1.4.18 | 1.4.18 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.
### Patches
XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.
### Workarounds
See [workarounds](https://x-stream.github.io/security.html#workaround) for the different versions covering all CVEs.
### References
See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStream's documentation for [CVE-2021-39149](https://x-stream.github.io/CVE-2021-39149.html).
