Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2021-21342
**DESCRIPTION:**XStream is vulnerable to server-side request forgery, caused by a flaw when processing stream at unmarshalling time. By manipulating the processed input stream and replace or inject objects, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct SSRF attack o access data streams from an arbitrary URL referencing a resource in an intranet or the local host.
CVSS Base score: 7.4
