An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-36480 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.aerospike:aerospike-client (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.0\n- com.aerospike:aerospike-client (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.5.0\n- com.aerospike:aerospike-client (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.2.0\n- com.aerospike:aerospike-client (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.2.0\n- com.aerospike:aerospike-client (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.2.0\n- com.aerospike:aerospike-client (Maven): affected from 6.0.0; fixed in 6.2.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36480/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36480/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-36480","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36480/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-36480","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jj95-55cr-9597"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Aerospike Java Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code on client machines by tricking them into connecting to a malicious Aerospike server that sends crafted serialized objects.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"aerospike_java_client","vendor":"aerospike"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"The Aerospike Java client is a Java application that implements a network protocol to communicate with an Aerospike server. Prior to versions 7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0, and 4.5.0 some of the messages received from the server contain Java objects that the client deserializes when it encounters them without further validation. Attackers that manage to trick clients into communicating with a malicious server can include especially crafted objects in its responses that, once deserialized by the client, force it to execute arbitrary code. This can be abused to take control of the machine the client is running on.
