CVE-2019-10173: It was found that xstream API version 1.4.10 before 1.4.11 introduced a regression for a previous deserialization flaw.

CriticalCVSS 9.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 68/100)

  • 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: 95% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: libxstream-java (Debian:12) 1.4.11-1; com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (Maven) 1.4.11.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.3, NVD 9.8.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to libxstream-java (Debian:12) 1.4.11-1; com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (Maven) 1.4.11 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

It was found that xstream API version 1.4.10 before 1.4.11 introduced a regression for a previous deserialization flaw. If the security framework has not been initialized, it may allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary shell commands when unmarshalling XML or any supported format. e.g. JSON. (regression of CVE-2013-7285)
