JetBrains dotPeek before 2018.2 and ReSharper Ultimate before 2018.1.4 allow attackers to execute code by decompiling a compiled .NET object (such as a DLL or EXE file) with a specific file, because of Deserialization of Untrusted Data.

Weakness

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

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Dotpeek Jetbrains * 2018.2 (excluding)
Resharper_ultimate Jetbrains * 2018.1.4 (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.
