Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
Updated: 28.01.2020
Added vulnerability #2.
EUVDB-ID: #VU13176
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5003
CWE-ID:
CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper deserialization of untrusted Java objects. A remote attacker can send a request that submits a malicious serialized Java object in an <ex:serializable> element and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

EUVDB-ID: #VU24686
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17570
CWE-ID:
CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult() method in Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
