A remote code execution vulnerability was identified in HP Business Service Management (BSM) using Apache Commons Collection Java Deserialization versions v9.20-v9.26

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Business_service_management Hp 9.20 (including) 9.26 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
