id: CVE-2021-39144

info:
  name: XStream 1.4.18 - Remote Code Execution
  author: pwnhxl,vicrack
  severity: high
  description: |
    XStream 1.4.18 is susceptible to remote code execution. An attacker can execute commands of the host by manipulating the processed input stream, thereby making it possible to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations in the context of the affected site. Setups which followed XStream's security recommendations with an allow-list are not impacted.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade XStream to a version that is not affected by CVE-2021-39144.
