Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.71%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In Apache Ignite before 2.4.8 and 2.5.x before 2.5.3, the serialization mechanism does not have a list of classes allowed for serialization/deserialization, which makes it possible to run arbitrary code when 3-rd party vulnerable classes are present in Ignite classpath. The vulnerability can be exploited if the one sends a specially prepared form of a serialized object to GridClientJdkMarshaller deserialization endpoint.
