| Package Name | Ecosystem | Vulnerable Versions | First Patched Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream | maven | < 1.4.20 | 1.4.20 |
The vulnerability stems from uncontrolled recursion during XML unmarshalling of deeply nested structures. The TreeUnmarshaller.startElement method is responsible for processing nested elements recursively. Pre-1.4.20 versions lacked depth tracking in this critical path, allowing attackers to craft malicious payloads that exhaust the call stack. The patch in 1.4.20 introduced depth validation in this unmarshalling process, confirming this as the vulnerable code path.
