CRITICAL · CVSS 3.0 · EPSS 18.9% (pctl 97)
Patch early
EPSS 18.9% — above the 10% action threshold.
Description
In Apache Batik 1.x before 1.10, when deserializing subclass of `AbstractDocument`, the class takes a string from the inputStream as the class name which then use it to call the no-arg constructor of the class. Fix was to check the class type before calling newInstance in deserialization.
