Official description
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Shenzhen Dashi Tongzhou Information Technology AgileBPM up to 2.5.0. Affected is the function parseStrByFreeMarker of the file /src/main/java/com/dstz/sys/rest/controller/SysToolsController.java. The manipulation of the argument str leads to deserialization. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

The underlying weakness: Deserialization of Untrusted Data
The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If available, use the signing/sealing features of the programming language to assure that deserialized data has not been tainted. For example, a hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) could be used to ensure that data has not been modified.
- When deserializing data, populate a new object rather than just deserializing. The result is that the data flows through safe input validation and that the functions are safe.
- Explicitly define a final object() to prevent deserialization.
