XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host 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. XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.

- →The vulnerability is triggered via unsafe deserialization of com.sun.corba.* classes in XStream; monitor for XML input streams referencing com.sun.corba.* class types being processed by XStream ↗
- →A remote attacker can load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host by manipulating the processed input stream; inspect and validate all XML input streams processed by XStream for unexpected or untrusted class references ↗
- ·Users who configured XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types are NOT affected by this vulnerability ↗
- ·XStream 1.4.18 no longer uses a blacklist by default; upgrading to 1.4.18 mitigates the issue at the framework level ↗
- ·OpenShift Container Platform Jenkins package is NOT affected due to JEP-200 and JEP-228 Jenkins projects restricting deserialization ↗

CVE-2021-39141 [HIGH] XStream vulnerabilities
Title: XStream vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in XStream.
Lai Han discovered that XStream incorrectly handled certain inputs.
If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial
of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
