CVE-2018-12023
When Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property), the service has the Oracle JDBC jar in the classpath, and an attacker can provide an LDAP service to access, it is possible to make the service execute a malicious payload.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.87%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
