XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16, there is a vulnerability which may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16.

- →The vulnerability involves unsafe deserialization of com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.util.ClassLoader via XStream; monitor for XML input streams referencing this class ↗
- →Exploitation requires manipulation of the processed XML input stream passed to XStream; inspect/log all XML deserialization input for unexpected class references ↗
- ·Users who configured XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types are NOT affected; only those relying on the default blacklist are vulnerable ↗
- ·OpenShift Container Platform Jenkins package is not affected due to JEP-200 and JEP-228 protections already in place ↗
- ·Red Hat JBoss AMQ 6 distributes affected XStream versions but is not susceptible because an allowlist-based XStream security framework is already in place ↗
