3DescriptionNVD
An attacker who intercepts and tampers with traffic between the client application and the API Gateway server could potentially deserialize arbitrary objects. This vulnerability could lead to broken security expectations or remote code execution.
AnalysisAI
Insecure deserialization in Broadcom Layer 7 API Gateway 11.2.1 exposes organizations to remote code execution or broken security control enforcement when an adversary can intercept and tamper with traffic between a client application and the gateway. The CVSS 4.0 vector assigns High subsequent-system confidentiality impact (SC:H), reflecting the gateway's privileged position as a broker to downstream backend services - meaning a successful exploit can cascade beyond the gateway itself. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two concurrent preconditions. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD-assigned CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects the meaningful exploitation barriers: AC:H (High complexity) captures the requirement for a man-in-the-middle network position, and PR:L (Low privileges required) indicates some level of prior access or authentication is needed before the intercept-and-tamper scenario is achievable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has achieved a man-in-the-middle position on the network segment between a client application and the Layer 7 API Gateway - for example via ARP spoofing, a compromised network device, or a rogue TLS termination proxy - intercepts a serialized request in transit and substitutes a crafted malicious object payload. The gateway deserializes the attacker-controlled payload, triggering a gadget chain that executes arbitrary operating system commands under the gateway process's security context. … |
| Remediation | Consult the Broadcom security advisory at https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/37631 for the vendor-confirmed patched version; an exact fix version number was not independently extractable from the available source data, so the patch version is not confirmed here and must be taken directly from the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
