What is CVE-2016-9606?

Prior to version 3.1.2, JBoss RESTEasy was susceptible to a vulnerability that allowed request parsing through YamlProvider. This weakness could enable an attacker to unmarshal potentially untrusted data, thereby facilitating the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the RESTEasy application. It is crucial for users to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk and secure their applications.

Affected Version(s)
