Unauthenticated command execution via Hessian deserialization
Published Jan 13, 2023 · Updated Apr 7, 2025
Deserialization in the datax-web RPC interface 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 through 2.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands. HessianSerializer accepts attacker-supplied Hessian objects, while the executor RPC endpoint exposes deserialization without a permission check. The default unauthenticated endpoint accepts a binary payload over the network, giving successful exploitation command execution in the server process context.
