1) Deserialization of untrusted data (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14667)

CWE-ID: CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to deserialization of untrusted data. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted UserResource RichFaces expression language that contains a tainted java serialized object org.ajax4jsf.resource.UserResource$UriData expression, trigger deserialization after clearing white list protections and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
