Path to dependency file: /webgoat-integration-tests/pom.xml
Path to vulnerable library: /home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.5/xstream-1.4.5.jar,/home/wss-scanner/.m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.5/xstream-1.4.5.jar,/m2/repository/com/thoughtworks/xstream/xstream/1.4.5/xstream-1.4.5.jar
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.
