CVE-2021-39148

Disclosure Date: August 23, 2021 •
CVE-2021-39148 CVSS v3 Base Score: 8.5
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this 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. XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.
