NVD · unedited
Java Deserialisation Vulnerability in Jaspersoft Reports Library leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE), potentially allowing code execution on the affected system

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a Java deserialization vulnerability in the Jaspersoft Reports Library that allows remote code execution. The vulnerability stems from unsafe deserialization of untrusted data, enabling attackers to inject malicious serialized objects that execute arbitrary code when deserialized by the vulnerable application.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided patch or upgrade to a patched version of Jaspersoft Reports Library. If a patch is unavailable, disable or restrict Java deserialization endpoints and implement deserialization filters to block known gadget chain payloads.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Jaspersoft installation
    Look for Jaspersoft processes or services running on the system (e.g., 'jasperserver', 'jasperm report', 'tibcojasper' in process lists), or check common installation directories such as /opt/jasperreports-server, /opt/tibco, or C:\Program Files\Jaspersoft
    Affected if Jaspersoft Reports Library is not installed on the system
  2. Determine installed version
    Check for version information in installation directories - look for version.txt, about.txt, or manifest files in the Jaspersoft installation folder, or access the /jasperserver/about page if the web interface is available
    Affected if Unable to determine version or version cannot be verified against available patch information
  3. Identify deserialization endpoints
    Review web server configuration and Jaspersoft XML config files (such as web.xml, applicationContext.xml) for endpoints or handlers that accept serialized Java objects, particularly those handling REST/SoAP API requests with object parameters
    Affected if Endpoints accepting serialized Java objects are exposed without authentication or validation filters
  4. Check deserialization security configuration
    Inspect Jaspersoft configuration files for serialization whitelisting or blacklisting settings - look for properties like 'jserial.filters' or custom deserialization filters in security configuration files
    Affected if No serialization filters or whitelisting is configured, allowing untrusted object deserialization
  5. Assess network exposure
    Verify if the Jaspersoft web interface or API ports (commonly 8080, 8443, or custom ports) are accessible from untrusted networks or the internet
    Affected if Jaspersoft services are exposed to untrusted network segments without proper access controls

A user is affected if Jaspersoft Reports Library is installed and accepts untrusted serialized Java data without validation filters or network access controls.

Mitigation

Apply the vendor-provided patch or upgrade to a patched version of Jaspersoft Reports Library. If a patch is unavailable, disable or restrict Java deserialization endpoints and implement deserialization filters to block known gadget chain payloads.
