CVE-2014-1972: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

May 13, 2022 (updated August 16, 2023)

Apache Tapestry before 5.3.6 relies on client-side object storage without checking whether a client has modified an object, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) or execute arbitrary code via crafted serialized data.
