Kentico Xperience Deserialization of Untrusted Data Vulnerability

Exploited · CISA KEV CVSS 9.8 EPSS 95%No fix listed yet

[ Why it matters ]Priority signals

  • Exploited in the wild: on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list since 2022-03-25
  • EPSS: 95% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (higher than 100% of CVEs)
  • Critical severity: CVSS 9.8

[ Description ]Official description

An issue was discovered in Kentico 12.0.x before 12.0.15, 11.0.x before 11.0.48, 10.0.x before 10.0.52, and 9.x versions. Due to a failure to validate security headers, it was possible for a specially crafted request to the staging service to bypass the initial authentication and proceed to deserialize user-controlled .NET object input. This deserialization then led to unauthenticated remote code execution on the server where the Kentico instance was hosted.

CISA: Kentico contains a failure to validate security headers. This deserialization can led to unauthenticated remote code execution.
