Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerability is triggered when RESTEasy is forced to parse a request using SerializableProvider, enabling deserialization of untrusted data. Detect HTTP requests with Content-Type or Accept headers indicating Java serialized object payloads (e.g., application/x-java-serialized-object) directed at RESTEasy endpoints. ↗
- →SerializableProvider is enabled by default in RESTEasy 3 before 3.0.15.Final; audit deployments for presence of this provider and monitor for unexpected deserialization activity in application logs. ↗
- →Exploitation results in arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the application using RESTEasy; monitor for anomalous process spawning from Java application server processes on affected RHEL 7 systems. ↗
- ·RESTEasy as shipped in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7, and JBoss Fuse 6 is NOT affected by this CVE; only the resteasy package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (Desktop, HPC Node, Server, Workstation) is affected. ↗
- ·The Debian fix was applied in resteasy version 3.0.18-1 (sid); the vulnerable version threshold is RESTEasy 3 before 3.0.15.Final. ↗
- ·JBoss Fuse 6 initially appeared to use a vulnerable version of resteasy but was determined not affected because it is used only as a RESTful webservice client (Fabric8/Support Webapp), not a server-side provider. ↗

CVE-2021-20289 [MEDIUM] RESTEasy vulnerabilities
Title: RESTEasy vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in resteasy, resteasy3.0.
It was discovered that RESTEasy made insufficient use of random values in
asynchronous jobs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to steal
user data. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-6345)
It was discovered that RESTEasy enabled a vulnerable GZIP decompression
module by default. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-6346)
It was discovered that RESTEasy improperly made use of unsanitized data
while handling certain errors. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-6347

SerializableProvider in RESTEasy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
It was discovered that under certain conditions RESTEasy could be forced to parse a request with SerializableProvider, resulting in deserialization of potentially untrusted data. An attacker could possibly use this flaw execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application using RESTEasy.
