Descriptions

ForgeRock AM server before 7.0 has a Java deserialization vulnerability in the jato.pageSession parameter on multiple pages. The exploitation does not require authentication, and remote code execution can be triggered by sending a single crafted /ccversion/* request to the server. The vulnerability exists due to the usage of Sun ONE Application Framework (JATO) found in versions of Java 8 or earlier

El servidor ForgeRock AM anterior a la versión 7.0 tiene una vulnerabilidad de deserialización de Java en el parámetro jato.pageSession en varias páginas. La explotación no requiere autenticación, y la ejecución remota de código se puede desencadenar mediante el envío de una única solicitud /ccversion/* manipulada al servidor. La vulnerabilidad existe debido al uso de Sun ONE Application Framework (JATO) que se encuentra en las versiones de Java 8 o anteriores

ForgeRock Access Management (AM) Core Server allows an attacker who sends a specially crafted HTTP request to one of three endpoints (/ccversion/Version, /ccversion/Masthead, or /ccversion/ButtonFrame) to execute code in the context of the current user (unless ForgeRock AM is running as root user, which the vendor does not recommend).
