Overview

com.adobe.blazeds:flex-messaging-core is a server-based Java remoting and web messaging technology that enables developers to easily connect to back-end distributed data and push data in real-time to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR applications for more responsive rich Internet application (RIA) experiences.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. It uses AMF3 deserializers which allow instantiation of arbitrary classes via public parameter-less constructors. An attacker may exploit this to send a malicious AMF3 object to the system to execute arbitrary code.
