XStream is a serialization library from Java objects to XML and back.
Path to dependency file: /webgoat-server/pom.xml
Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.5/xstream-1.4.5.jar,/home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.5/xstream-1.4.5.jar,/canner/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.5/xstream-1.4.5.jar
Dependency Hierarchy:
❌ xstream-1.4.5.jar (Vulnerable Library)
Found in base branch: main
Vulnerability Details
XStream is an open source java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. Versions prior to 1.4.19 may allow a remote attacker to allocate 100% CPU time on the target system depending on CPU type or parallel execution of such a payload resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream. XStream 1.4.19 monitors and accumulates the time it takes to add elements to collections and throws an exception if a set threshold is exceeded. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. Users unable to upgrade may set the NO_REFERENCE mode to prevent recursion. See GHSA-rmr5-cpv2-vgjf for further details on a workaround if an upgrade is not possible.
