CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

A remote code execution vulnerability was found in Spring AMQP. The class org.springframework.core.serializer.DefaultDeserializer does not validate the deserialized object against a whitelist. By supplying a crafted serialized object like Chris Frohoff's Commons Collection gadget, remote code execution can be achieved.

In Pivotal Spring AMQP versions prior to 1.7.4, 1.6.11, and 1.5.7, an org.springframework.amqp.core.Message may be unsafely deserialized when being converted into a string. A malicious payload could be crafted to exploit this and enable a remote code execution attack.

In Spring AMQP versions 2.2.0 - 2.2.18 and 2.3.0 - 2.3.10, the Spring AMQP Message object, in its toString() method, will deserialize a body for a message with content type application/x-java-serialized-object. It is possible to construct a malicious java.util.Dictionary object that can cause 100% CPU usage in the application if the toString() method is called.

In Spring AMQP versions 2.2.0 - 2.2.19 and 2.3.0 - 2.3.11, the Spring AMQP Message object, in its toString() method, will create a new String object from the message body, regardless of its size. This can cause an OOM Error with a large message

Pivotal Spring AMQP, 1.x versions prior to 1.7.10 and 2.x versions prior to 2.0.6, expose a man-in-the-middle vulnerability due to lack of hostname validation. A malicious user that has the ability to intercept traffic would be able to view data in transit.
