XML external entities are not explicitly disabled for this XMLInputFactory. This could be vulnerable to XML external entity vulnerabilities. Explicitly disable external entities by setting “javax.xml.stream.isSupportingExternalEntities” to false.

Marking code as privileged enables a piece of trusted code to temporarily enable access to more resources than are available directly to the code that called it. Be very careful in your use of the privileged construct, and always remember to make the privileged code section as small as possible.

Detected a potential path traversal. A malicious actor could control the location of this file, to include going backwards in the directory with ’../’. To address this, ensure that user-controlled variables in file paths are sanitized. You may also consider using a utility method such as org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils.getName(…) to only retrieve the file name from the path.

When using Jackson to marshall/unmarshall JSON to Java objects, enabling default typing is dangerous and can lead to RCE. If an attacker can control $JSON it might be possible to provide a malicious JSON which can be used to exploit unsecure deserialization. In order to prevent this issue, avoid to enable default typing (globally or by using “Per-class” annotations) and avoid using Object and other dangerous types for member variable declaration which creating classes for Jackson based deserialization.

JMS Object messages depend on Java Serialization for marshalling/unmarshalling of the message payload when ObjectMessage.getObject() is called. Deserialization of untrusted data can lead to security flaws; a remote attacker could via a crafted JMS ObjectMessage to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application listening/consuming JMS Messages. In this case, the JMS MessageListener consume an ObjectMessage type received inside the onMessage method, which may lead to arbitrary code execution when calling the $Y.getObject method.
