CVE-2022-36944
9.8
CRITICAL · CVSS 3.1 · EPSS 10.6% (pctl 96)
Patch early
EPSS 10.6% — above the 10% action threshold.
Description
Scala 2.13.x before 2.13.9 has a Java deserialization chain in its JAR file. On its own, it cannot be exploited. There is only a risk in conjunction with Java object deserialization within an application. In such situations, it allows attackers to erase contents of arbitrary files, make network connections, or possibly run arbitrary code (specifically, Function0 functions) via a gadget chain.
