Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
1) Deserialization of untrusted data
EUVDB-ID: #VU10257
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-2017-17485
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 weakness exists in the FasterXML jackson-databind library due to improper validation of user-input handled by the readValue method of the ObjectMapper object. A remote attacker can send malicious input to the vulnerable method of a web application that uses the Spring library in the application's classpath and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions: 2.7.9.2 and 2.8.11.
Vulnerable software versionsjackson-databind: 2.7.9 - 2.9.3
