Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
An XML Deserialization vulnerability was discovered in glazedlists version 1.11.0, identified as CVE-2023-31890. The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the BeanXMLByteCoder.decode() parameter (NVD, CVE). The issue was reported on April 26, 2023, and affects the Java-based GlazedLists library (GitHub Issue).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in the BeanXMLByteCoder class within the ca.odell.glazedlists.impl.io package. The decode() method processes XML input using XMLDecoder.readObject() without proper validation, leading to unsafe deserialization of XML data. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 CRITICAL (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is classified under CWE-502 (Deserialization of Untrusted Data) (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems through malicious XML input. Given the CVSS score of 9.8, this represents a critical security risk with potential for complete system compromise, including unauthorized code execution with the privileges of the application (NVD).
