Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data
EUVDB-ID: #VU28158
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9484
CWE-ID:
CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Exploit availability: Yes
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 in uploaded files names. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file name to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that the server is configured to use PersistenceManager with a FileStore and the attacker knows relative file path from storage location.
Install update from vendor's website.
