Code execution via insecure XML deserialization
Published Mar 10, 2025 · Updated Mar 12, 2025
XML deserialization in VisiCut 2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted malicious PLF file. The loadPlfFile method in VisicutModel.java deserializes attacker-controlled XML, but public sources do not identify the parser call or missing validation. No authentication or user interaction is reported, and successful exploitation runs code with the application's privileges.
