XStream is vulnerable to an Arbitrary Code Execution attack

  • Publicada: 25.08.2021
  • Actualizado: 11.10.2026 12:22

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.

References

See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStream's documentation for CVE-2021-39154.

Credits

ka1n4t found and reported the issue to XStream and provided the required information to reproduce it.
