Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data
EUVDB-ID: #VU82690
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 9.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46604
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 the OpenWire protocol. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
