Vulnerability details
The 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 passed via the XMSS/XMSS^MT private key. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the the Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography API and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
