# XStream Deserialization Remote Command Execution (CVE-2021-21351)
|
|
|
|
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
|
|
|
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
|
|
|
|
XStream uses a blocklist mechanism when parsing XML text which is utilized to defend against deserialization vulnerabilities, but in 1.4.15 and earlier, blocklists are incomplete and attackers could use `javax.naming.ldap.Rdn$RdnEntry` and `javax.sql.rowset.BaseRowSet` to make an JNDI injection and execute arbitrary commands finally.

|
|
|
## Vulnerable Environment
|
|
|
|
Start a Springboot + XStream 1.4.15 server.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the environment is started, you can send the following request to `http://your-ip:8080` to test if the server has started successfully
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## POC
|
|
|
|
Since the target Java version is higher than 8u191, you need the help of `org.apache.naming.factory.BeanFactory` with EL expression injection to execute arbitrary commands, reference to [this article](https://www.veracode.com/blog/research/exploiting-jndi-injections-java).
|
|
|
|
You can use the [Java Chains](https://github.com/vulhub/java-chains) for vulnerability replication. Refer to the [Quick Start](https://java-chains.vulhub.org/docs/guide) to launch Java Chains. Afterwards, according to the image below, select to set the command to execute as `touch /tmp/success`, and generate the JNDI LDAP URL Payload:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Use the above LDAP URL as the value of `<dataSource>` to construct the POC as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
It can be seen that `touch /tmp/success` has been successfully executed:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
If something goes wrong with the POC and Java version, the POC have to be modified by changing ``<__overrideDefaultParser>false</__overrideDefaultParser>`` to ``<__useServicesMechanism>false</__useServicesMechanism>``.
