1) Unsafe reflection

EUVDB-ID: #VU65653

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0114

CWE-ID: CWE-470 - Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code ('Unsafe Reflection')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons BeanUtils does not suppress the class property. A remote unauthenticated attacker can manipulate the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code via the class parameter

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

2) Protection mechanism failure

EUVDB-ID: #VU20844

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10086

CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exist due to Beanutils is not using by default the a special BeanIntrospector class in PropertyUtilsBean that was supposed to suppress the ability for an attacker to access the classloader via the class property available on all Java objects. A remote attacker can abuse such application behavior against applications that were developed to rely on this security feature.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
