CSH Severity: Medium
CVSS v4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CWE-ID: CWE-470
Exploitation vector: Remote access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use of externally controlled input to select classes or code in JDKFromStringDeserializer.NioPathHelper.deserialize when deserializing untrusted JSON into a java.nio.file.Path field. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted URI scheme to drive FileSystemProvider resolution and cause a denial of service.

Exploitation occurs during readValue, and meaningful side effects beyond the reported availability impact depend on the presence of a side-effecting third-party FileSystemProvider on the classpath.
