CVE-2021-35464ForgeRock Access Management — Pre-Auth Java Deserialization RCE

ForgeRock Access Management rebuilds a Java object straight out of the jato.pageSession parameter, so one crafted unauthenticated request to a version page runs code as the account the server runs under. Releases before 7.0 are affected.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade ForgeRock Access Management to 7.0 or later per the vendor article; until then block /ccversion/Version, /ccversion/Masthead and /ccversion/ButtonFrame at the proxy.
