Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVE-2026-41635

High
9.8/10

Summary

Apache MINA's "AbstractIoBuffer.resolveClass()" contains two branches, one of them (for static classes or primitive types) does not check the class at all, bypassing the classname allowlist and allowing arbitrary code to be executed. The fix checks if the class is present in the accepted class filter before "callingClass.forName()". Affected versions are Apache MINA from 2.0.0 through 2.0.27, 2.1.0 through 2.1.10, and 2.2.0 through 2.2.5. The problem is resolved in Apache MINA 2.0.28, 2.1.11, and 2.2.6 by applying the classname allowlist earlier. Affected are applications using Apache MINA that call "IoBuffer.getObject()". Applications using Apache MINA are advised to upgrade.

CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Deserialization of untrusted data vulnerabilities enable an attacker to replace or manipulate a serialized object, replacing it with malicious data. When the object is deserialized at the victim's end the malicious data is able to compromise the victim’s system. The exploit can be devastating, its impact may range from privilege escalation, broken access control, or denial of service attacks to allowing unauthorized access to the application's internal code and logic which can compromise the entire system.
