CVE-2024-56291: Deserialization of Untrusted Data in plainware PlainInventory
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in plainware PlainInventory z-inventory-manager allows Object Injection.This issue affects PlainInventory: from n/a through <= 3.1.6.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in plainware PlainInventory (<= 3.1.6) arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted data, enabling an attacker to perform object injection. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.1, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The attack vector is network-based, with high complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required. The vulnerability is publicly disclosed but lacks an official patch or vendor advisory detailing remediation steps.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially leading to full system compromise including data breach, data manipulation, or denial of service. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.1.6 of PlainInventory. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider restricting network access to the affected service and monitor for unusual activity related to deserialization processes. Avoid processing untrusted serialized data where possible.
