Apache OpenMeetings vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVSS 9.8 CriticalCriticalEPSS 0.69 · 99th percentile

Critical, because:

  • CVSS score 9.8: 9.0 or more.
  • CVSS score 9.8 (7.0 or more) and EPSS 0.69 (0.1 or more): a high score and a real chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache OpenMeetings versions from 2.1.0 before 8.0.0 are vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted data. The default clustering setup does not define allow or deny lists for OpenJPA serialization, so an attacker may be able to trigger unsafe deserialization; the source does not state the required access level. Upgrade to version 8.0.0, and if you cannot upgrade, add OpenJPA serialization class whitelist and blacklist settings to your startup configuration as described in the clustering documentation.
