Detailed vulnerability description

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to fail to block the axis2-jaxws class from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


How to mitigate CVE-2018-14721

Update to version 2.9.7.
