Deserialization of untrusted data in Azure SDK allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
Weakness
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azure_conversation_authoring_client_library | Microsoft | 1.0.0-beta1 (including) | 1.0.0-beta1 (including) |
| Azure_conversation_authoring_client_library | Microsoft | 1.0.0-beta2 (including) | 1.0.0-beta2 (including) |
| Azure_conversation_authoring_client_library | Microsoft | 1.0.0-beta3 (including) | 1.0.0-beta3 (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.
