Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to request data from internal resources that are not publicly available only by manipulating the processed input stream with a Java runtime version 14 to 8. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.
### Patches
If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the [Security Framework](https://x-stream.github.io/security.html#framework), you will have to use at least version 1.4.18.
### Workarounds
See [workarounds](https://x-stream.github.io/security.html#workaround) for the different versions covering all CVEs.
