CVE-2022-42920

Apache Commons BCEL prior to 6.6.0 allows producing arbitrary bytecode via out-of-bounds writing

Published Nov 7, 2022 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS 3.5% KEV · Not listed
Description
Apache Commons BCEL has a number of APIs that would normally only allow changing specific class characteristics. However, due to an out-of-bounds writing issue, these APIs can be used to produce arbitrary bytecode. This could be abused in applications that pass attacker-controllable data to those APIs, giving the attacker more control over the resulting bytecode than otherwise expected. Update to Apache Commons BCEL 6.6.0.
