CVE

GHSA-8jrj-525p-826v

XStream is vulnerable to an Arbitrary Code Execution attack

Impact

The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.

Patches

XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.

Workarounds

See workarounds for the different versions covering all CVEs.
