Host compromise via unsafe Java deserialization
Published Jan 15, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Unsafe Java deserialization in Aruba Networks AirWave Glass before 1.3.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. A containerized service invokes Java deserialization on attacker-controlled data without an adequate class restriction, although Aruba does not identify the service or request endpoint. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful command execution in the container can compromise the underlying host operating system.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
