Deserialization of untrusted data in the Hessian Component of Apache Cayenne 4.1 with older Java versions

CVE-2022-24289 [CVE] [CVE json] [OSV json]

Last updated: 2022-02-11T22:06:23.179Z

Affected

• Apache Cayenne from 4.1 through 4.1

Description

Hessian serialization is a network protocol that supports object-based transmission. Apache Cayenne’s optional Remote Object Persistence (ROP) feature is a web services-based technology that provides object persistence and query functionality to ‘remote’ applications.

In Apache Cayenne 4.1 and earlier, running on non-current patch versions of Java, an attacker with client access to Cayenne ROP can transmit a malicious payload to any vulnerable third-party dependency on the server. This can result in arbitrary code execution.
