Impact
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 a server-side forgery request. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStreamโs security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.
Patches
If you rely on XStreamโs default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16
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 XStreamโs documentation for CVE-2021-21342.
