IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale is affected by Insecure Deserilization

Published Jun 30, 2026 · Updated Jul 3, 2026 · Assigned by ibm

Description

IBM WebSphere Extreme Scale 8.6.1.0 through 8.6.1.6 ships three ObjectInputStream subclasses (WsObjectInputStream, ObjectStreamPool$ReusableInputStream, ObjectInputStreamResolver) that install no JEP-290 class filter; when Coherence is on the classpath, multiple RCE gadget chains including RemoteConstructor.readResolve and PriorityQueue/ExtractorComparator are confirmed working, allowing a post-login attacker who can write a session attribute or a LAN-adjacent attacker on the grid replication wire to execute arbitrary code on peer WAS JVMs
