CWE-502

Apache Geode versions up to 1.12.5, 1.13.4 and 1.14.0 are vulnerable to a deserialization of untrusted data flaw when using JMX over RMI on Java 8. Any user still on Java 8 who wishes to protect against deserialization attacks involving JMX or RMI should upgrade to Apache Geode 1.15 and Java 11. If upgrading to Java 11 is not possible, then upgrade to Apache Geode 1.15 and specify “–J=-Dgeode.enableGlobalSerialFilter=true” when starting any Locators or Servers. Follow the documentation for details on specifying any user classes that may be serialized/deserialized with the “serializable-object-filter” configuration option. Using a global serial filter will impact performance.

Apache Geode versions up to 1.12.2 and 1.13.2 are vulnerable to a deserialization of untrusted data flaw when using JMX over RMI on Java 11. Any user wishing to protect against deserialization attacks involving JMX or RMI should upgrade to Apache Geode 1.15. Use of 1.15 on Java 11 will automatically protect JMX over RMI against deserialization attacks. This should have no impact on performance since it only affects JMX/RMI which Gfsh uses to communicate with the JMX Manager which is hosted on a Locator.

Apache Geode versions prior to 1.15.0 are vulnerable to a deserialization of untrusted data flaw when using REST API on Java 8 or Java 11. Any user wishing to protect against deserialization attacks involving REST APIs should upgrade to Apache Geode 1.15 and follow the documentation for details on enabling “validate-serializable-objects=true” and specifying any user classes that may be serialized/deserialized with “serializable-object-filter”. Enabling “validate-serializable-objects” may impact performance.

Scala 2.13.x before 2.13.9 has a Java deserialization chain in its JAR file. On its own, it cannot be exploited. There is only a risk in conjunction with Java object deserialization within an application. In such situations, it allows attackers to erase contents of arbitrary files, make network connections, or possibly run arbitrary code (specifically, Function0 functions) via a gadget chain.

The Starter Templates by Kadence WP WordPress plugin before 1.2.17 unserialises the content of an imported file, which could lead to PHP object injection issues when an admin import (intentionally or not) a malicious file and a suitable gadget chain is present on the blog.

An issue was discovered in Blue Prism Enterprise 6.0 through 7.01. In a misconfigured environment that exposes the Blue Prism Application server, it is possible for a domain authenticated user to send a crafted message to the Blue Prism Server and accomplish a remote code execution attack that is possible because of insecure deserialization. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for code to be executed in the context of the Blue Prism Server service.
