It was found that fix for CVE-2016-9606 was incomplete and Yaml unmarshalling in Resteasy is still possible via Yaml.load() in YamlProvider.
IssueDescription:
It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-0818 was incomplete: external parameter entities were not disabled when the resteasy.document.expand.entity.references parameter was set to false. A remote attacker able to send XML requests to a RESTEasy endpoint could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
It was found that there was insufficient use of randam values in RESTEasy async jobs. An attacker could use this flaw to steal user data.
DocumentProvider in RESTEasy 2.3.7 and 3.0.9 does not configure the (1) external-general-entities or (2) external-parameter-entities features, which allows remote attackers to conduct XML external entity (XXE) attacks via unspecified vectors.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the default exception handler in RESTEasy allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
It was found that in some configurations the JacksonJsonpInterceptor is activated by default in RESTEasy. An attacker could use this flaw to launch a Cross Site Scripting Inclusion attack.
RESTEasy before 2.3.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an external entity reference in a DOM document, aka an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack.
RESTEasy permits XXE (XML eXternal Entity) attacks. If a RESTEasy endpoint is deployed, a user can submit a request containing an external XML entity. This XML entity will be resolved, allowing a remote attacker to read files in the context of the user running the application server. This flaw affects DOM Document, JAXB and Fast Infoset (FI) input.
Upstream bugs: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-637 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-647 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-659
A flaw was found in RESTEasy, where an incorrect response to an HTTP request is provided. This flaw allows an attacker to gain access to privileged information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.
