Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
XML External Entity (XXE): Insecure XML parsing configurations in core KieModule marshalling and BPMN2 files allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files and conduct SSRF attacks. Developers must globally disable external DTDs and entities.
Insecure Deserialization: Improper safeguards when deserializing engine data allow authenticated attackers to pass malicious serialized objects, leading to arbitrary code execution. Strict class-filtering or replacement of Java serialization is required.
Path Traversal: DiskResourceStore was vulnerable to path traversal because it lacked canonicalization and prefix validation on requested paths, allowing read/write operations outside the intended root directory.
