Infinispan permits improper deserialization of trusted data via XML and JSON transcoders under certain server configurations. A user with authenticated access to the server could send a malicious object to a cache configured to accept certain types of objects, achieving code execution and possible further attacks. Versions 9.0.3.Final, 9.1.7.Final, 8.2.10.Final, 9.2.2.Final, 9.3.0.Alpha1 are believed to be affected.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-1131 affects certain Red Hat Infinispan versions where XML and JSON transcoding can deserialize trusted data unsafely. In specific configurations, an authenticated user could cause code execution through a cache that accepts certain object types. The business risk is highest where Infinispan is reachable by broad user groups or integrated into sensitive services. Exposure is likely limited to Infinispan deployments running the listed versions with affected XML or JSON transcoder configurations and caches accepting relevant object types. Internet exposure is not established in the sources, but any broadly reachable authenticated server increases risk. Treat this as high priority for environments using affected Infinispan versions in sensitive applications. Code execution is possible, but the available evidence indicates authentication and specific configuration are required, and no active exploitation evidence is provided. Mitigation focus: Inventory Infinispan versions and prioritize listed affected releases.; Review Red Hat advisories RHSA-2018:1833 and RHSA-2019:3892 for vendor remediation.; Upgrade or patch using vendor-supported Infinispan packages where applicable..

Acceptance of Extraneous Untrusted Data With Trusted Data

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