Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Apache Causeway faces Java deserialization vulnerabilities that allow remote code execution (RCE) through user-controllable URL parameters. These vulnerabilities affect all applications using Causeway's ViewModel functionality and can be exploited by authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with application privileges.
This issue affects all current versions.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.5.0, which fixes the issue.
