The processed stream at unmarshalling time contains type information to recreate the formerly written objects. XStream creates therefore new instances based on these type information. An attacker can manipulate the processed input stream and replace or inject objects, that result in the deletion of a file on the local host. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStreamโs security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.
If you rely on XStreamโs default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16.
See workarounds for the different versions covering all CVEs.
See full information about the nature of the vulnerability and the steps to reproduce it in XStreamโs documentation for CVE-2021-21343.
้ๆฝฆ่ดต (Liaogui Zhong) found and reported the issue to XStream and provided the required information to reproduce it.
