Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 49.3%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code. Apache XML-RPC is no longer maintained and this issue will not be fixed.
