Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from GraniteDS's AMF3 deserialization implementation using java.io.Externalizable
(dangerous Java serialization interface) rather than the Flash-specific IExternalizable
. The readObject
method in AMF3Deserializer
would be responsible for instantiating Externalizable
classes and invoking their readExternal()
method. This matches the attack vector described in CVE-2017-3199
where attacker-controlled Externalizable
objects (e.g., RMI-related classes) execute code during deserialization. The Code White
blog explicitly identifies this pattern as the root cause, and the CVE
description confirms the impact via RMI
abuse.
