CVE-2017-3201: Flamingo amf-serializer by Exadel, version 2.2.0, Action Message Format (AMF3) Java implementation is vulnerable to insecure deserialization

The Java implementation of AMF3 deserializers used in Flamingo amf-serializer by Exadel, version 2.2.0 derives class instances from java.io.Externalizable rather than the AMF3 specification's recommendation of flash.utils.IExternalizable. A remote attacker with the ability to spoof or control an RMI server connection may be able to send serialized Java objects that execute arbitrary code when deserialized.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-3201 is an insecure Java deserialization issue in Exadel Flamingo amf-serializer 2.2.0. If an attacker can spoof or control an RMI server connection, they may be able to make the application deserialize hostile Java objects and run arbitrary code. Exposure appears limited to Java applications using Exadel Flamingo amf-serializer 2.2.0 and reachable AMF/RMI-related flows. The sources do not identify additional affected versions or products. Treat as high priority where the library is present in internet-facing or partner-facing Java services. Arbitrary code execution is a serious impact, but urgency depends on whether attackers can influence the RMI connection path. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove unused Flamingo amf-serializer 2.2.0 dependencies.; Check Exadel, CERT/CC, and application-owner guidance for supported remediation.; Block untrusted access to AMF/RMI endpoints and connection controls..

Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Deserialization of Untrusted Data represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
