CVE-2022-1415: Drools: unsafe data deserialization in streamutils

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 64% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: org.drools:drools-core (Maven) 7.69.0.Final; mgr-osad (SUSE:Manager Proxy Module 4.2) 4.2.9-150300.2.12.2; rhnlib (SUSE:Manager Proxy Module 4.2) 4.2.7-150300.4.12.2.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.drools:drools-core (Maven) 7.69.0.Final; mgr-osad (SUSE:Manager Proxy Module 4.2) 4.2.9-150300.2.12.2; rhnlib (SUSE:Manager Proxy Module 4.2) 4.2.7-150300.4.12.2 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A flaw was found where some utility classes in Drools core did not use proper safeguards when deserializing data. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to construct malicious serialized objects (usually called gadgets) and achieve code execution on the server.

Root cause

Data received over the network is deserialized into the language’s native object format without verifying its source. Code paths inside the object can be triggered during deserialization.
