The Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in an <ex:serializable> element.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - xmlrpc: XML external entity vulnerability SSRF via a crafted DTD (CVE-2016-5002)

  - xmlrpc: Deserialization of untrusted Java object through <ex:serializable> tag (CVE-2016-5003)

  - The Content-Encoding HTTP header feature in ws-xmlrpc 3.1.3 as used in Apache Archiva allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) by decompressing a large file containing     zeroes. (CVE-2016-5004)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:1784 advisory.

    Apache XML-RPC is a Java implementation of XML-RPC, a popular protocol that uses XML over HTTP to     implement remote procedure calls.

    Security Fix(es):

    * xmlrpc: Deserialization of untrusted Java object through <ex:serializable> tag (CVE-2016-5003)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202401-26 (Apache XML-RPC: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in     Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a     crafted DTD. (CVE-2016-5002)

  - The Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library 3.1.3, as used in Apache Archiva, allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in an <ex:serializable> element.
    (CVE-2016-5003)

  - An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult     method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client     causing it to execute arbitrary code. Apache XML-RPC is no longer maintained and this issue will not be     fixed. (CVE-2019-17570)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has xmlrpc3 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - A flaw was discovered in the Apache XML-RPC (ws-xmlrpc)     library that deserializes untrusted data when     enabledForExtensions setting is enabled. A remote     attacker could use this vulnerability to execute     arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in a      element. (CVE-2016-5003)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has xmlrpc packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  - A flaw was discovered in the Apache XML-RPC (ws-xmlrpc)     library that deserializes untrusted data when     enabledForExtensions setting is enabled. A remote     attacker could use this vulnerability to execute     arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object in a      element. (CVE-2016-5003)

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2018:2317 advisory.

    XML-RPC is a way to make remote procedure calls over the Internet. It converts procedure calls into XML     documents, sends them to a remote server using the HTTP protocol, and gets back the response as XML.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: xmlrpc (3.1.3). (BZ#1594618)

    Security Fix(es):

    * xmlrpc: Deserialization of untrusted Java object through <ex:serializable> tag (CVE-2016-5003)
