✅ Remediation

To install this update, do the following: 1. Download the Data Grid 8.3.0 Server patch from the customer portal[²]. 2. Back up your existing Data Grid installation. You should back up databases, configuration files, and so on. 3. Install the Data Grid 8.3.0 Server patch. 4. Restart Data Grid to ensure the changes take effect. For more information about Data Grid 8.3.0, refer to the 8.3.0 Release Notes[³] Workaround: Depending on the version of XStream used there are various usage patterns that mitigate this flaw, though we would strongly recommend using the allow list approach if at all possible as there are likely more class combinations the deny list approach may not address. Allow list approach ```java XStream xstream = new XStream(); XStream.setupDefaultSecurity(xstream); xstream.allowTypesByWildcard(new String[] {"com.misc.classname"}) ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.16 (this should also address some previous flaws found in 1.4.7 - > 1.4.15) ```java xstream.denyTypesByRegExp(new String[]{ ".*\\.Lazy(?:Search)?Enumeration.*", "(?:java|sun)\\.rmi\\..*" }); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.15 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "sun.awt.datatransfer.DataTransferer$IndexOrderComparator", "sun.swing.SwingLazyValue", "com.sun.corba.se.impl.activation.ServerTableEntry", "com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment$NameProcessIterator" }); xstream.denyTypesByRegExp(new String[]{ ".*\\$ServiceNameIterator", "javafx\\.collections\\.ObservableList\\$.*", ".*\\.bcel\\..*\\.util\\.ClassLoader" }); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(java.io.InputStream.class ); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(java.nio.channels.Channel.class ); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(javax.activation.DataSource.class ); xstream.denyTypeHierarchy(javax.sql.rowset.BaseRowSet.class ); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.13 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter" }); xstream.denyTypes(new Class[]{ java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class }); ``` Deny list for XStream 1.4.7 -> 1.4.12 ```java xstream.denyTypes(new String[]{ "javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter" }); xstream.denyTypes(new Class[]{ java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class, java.beans.EventHandler.class, java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class, java.lang.Void.class, void.class }); ``` Deny list for versions prior to XStream 1.4.7 ```java xstream.registerConverter(new Converter() { public boolean canConvert(Class type) { return type != null && (type == java.beans.EventHandler.class || type == java.lang.ProcessBuilder.class || type == java.lang.Void.class || void.class || type.getName().equals("javax.imageio.ImageIO$ContainsFilter") || Proxy.isProxy(type)); } public Object unmarshal(HierarchicalStreamReader reader, UnmarshallingContext context) { throw new ConversionException("Unsupported type due to security reasons."); } public void marshal(Object source, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer, MarshallingContext context) { throw new ConversionException("Unsupported type due to security reasons."); } }, XStream.PRIORITY_LOW); ```
