🛡️ CVE-2022-34169 — 7-mode-transition-tool
Description
Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT stylesheets
The Apache Xalan Java XSLT library is vulnerable to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT stylesheets. This can be used to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler and execute arbitrary Java bytecode. Users are recommended to update to version 2.7.3 or later. Note: Java runtimes (such as OpenJDK) include repackaged copies of Xalan.
How this vulnerability can be exploited
