In DOXENSE WATCHDOC before 6.1.1.5332, Deserialization of Untrusted Data can lead to remote code execution through the .NET Remoting library in the Watchdoc administration interface.
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.
