Synopsis

Lucee < 5.3.12.1 Remote Code Execution

Description

According to its self-reported version number, Lodash is prior to 5.3.12.1 or 5.4.x prior to 5.4.3.2. It is, therefore, affected by a Remote Code Execution via an XML XXE attack in the Lucee REST endpoint.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Lucee version 5.3.12.1 or later.
