Summary
The Java implementation of AMF3 deserializers used by WebORB for Java by Midnight Coders, version 5.1.1.0, allows external entity references (XXEs) from XML documents embedded within AMF3 messages. If the XML parsing is handled incorrectly it could potentially expose sensitive data on the server, denial of service, or server side request forgery.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
3.93% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 90% of all scored CVEs.
