Advisories for Maven/Com.chaitin/Super-Xray package

2022

Deserialization of Untrusted Data

super-xray is a web vulnerability scanning tool. Versions prior to 0.7 assumed trusted input for the program config which is stored in a yaml file. An attacker with local access to the file could exploit this and compromise the program. This issue has been addressed in commit 4d0d5966 and will be included in future releases. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Execution with Unnecessary Privileges

super-xray is the GUI alternative for vulnerability scanning tool xray. In 0.2-beta, a privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered. This caused inaccurate default xray permissions. Note: this vulnerability only affects Linux and Mac OS systems. Users should upgrade to super-xray 0.3-beta.
