CVE-2021-43853 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for AjaxPro.2.
Overview
AjaxPro.2 is a .NET Library that provides AJAX related methods to simplify the communication between server and client.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Deserialization of Untrusted Data due to the possibility of deserialization of arbitrary JavaScript objects in core.js which may result in cross site scripting when leveraged by a malicious user.
NOTE: This vulnerability has also been assigned CVE-2023-49289.
Details
Serialization is a process of converting an object into a sequence of bytes which can be persisted to a disk or database or can be sent through streams. The reverse process of creating object from sequence of bytes is called deserialization. Serialization is commonly used for communication (sharing objects between multiple hosts) and persistence (store the object state in a file or a database). It is an integral part of popular protocols like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), Java Management Extension (JMX), Java Messaging System (JMS), Action Message Format (AMF), Java Server Faces (JSF) ViewState, etc.
Deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502) is when the application deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid, thus allowing the attacker to control the state or the flow of the execution.
