CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/502.html

An issue was discovered in OpenText Content Suite Platform 22.1 (16.2.19.1803). The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) program cs.exe allows an attacker to increase/decrease an arbitrary memory address by 1 and trigger a call to a method of a vftable with a vftable pointer value chosen by the attacker.

Weakness

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

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Opentext_extended_ecm Opentext 20.4 (including) 22.4 (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.
