{"id":"CVE-2026-102469","published":"2026-10-15T09:17:15.573","lastModified":"2026-10-15T15:17:19.537","description":"In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0, 4.5.34] or [5.0.0,5.0.12] or [5.1.0,5.1.9] or [5.2.0, 5.2.0], the Vert.x DB2 client (vertx-db2-client) contains DRDA protocol handling code that deserializes User Defined Type (UDT) column data using a bare ObjectInputStream.readObject() call with no ObjectInputFilter or class allowlist.\n\n\n\nThis code path is triggered when a DRDA server sends a result set with a column tagged as UDT (FDOCA protocol LID 0x50). However, DB2 does not support this type of UDT. The FDOCA 0x50 type is never sent by a legitimate DB2 server.\n\n\n\nNevertheless, a malicious or man-in-the-middle DRDA server could craft a response with a 0x50-tagged column, causing the client to deserialize arbitrary attacker-controlled bytes on the Vert.x event loop before any application code can inspect or reject the data. If a Java deserialization gadget chain is present on the application's classpath, this enables remote code execution. Without a gadget chain, denial of service is possible via crafted object graphs. TLS is disabled by default, making man-in-the-middle exploitation feasible.\n\n\n\nThe impacted component is io.vertx:vertx-db2-client.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":["CWE-502"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vertx-sql-client/security/advisories/GHSA-j4vf-w939-pgxf","tags":[]},{"url":"https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/cve-assignment/-/work_items/347","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vertx-sql-client/security/advisories/GHSA-j4vf-w939-pgxf","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
