A vulnerability was found in zmops ArgusDBM up to 0.1.0. It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function getDefaultClassLoader of the file CalculateAlarm.java of the component AviatorScript Handler. The manipulation leads to deserialization. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-271050 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

Weakness

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

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.
