+  "summary": "dd-trace-java: Unsafe deserialization in RMI instrumentation may lead to remote code execution",
+  "details": "In versions of dd-trace-java prior to 1.60.3, the RMI instrumentation registered a custom endpoint that deserialized incoming data without applying serialization filters. On JDK version 16 and earlier, an attacker with network access to a JMX or RMI port on an instrumented JVM could exploit this to potentially achieve remote code execution. All three of the following conditions must be true to exploit this vulnerability:\n1. dd-trace-java is attached as a Java agent (`-javaagent`) on Java 16 or earlier\n2. A JMX/RMI port has been explicitly configured via `-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port` and is network-reachable\n3. A gadget-chain-compatible library is present on the classpath\n\n### Impact\nArbitrary remote code execution with the privileges of the user running the instrumented JVM.\n\n### Recommendation\n- For JDK >= 17: No action is required, but upgrading is strongly encouraged.\n- For JDK >= 8u121 < JDK 17: Upgrade to dd-trace-java version 1.60.3 or later.\n- For JDK < 8u121 and earlier where serialization filters are not available, apply the workaround described below.\n\n### Workarounds\nSet the following environment variable to disable the RMI integration: `DD_INTEGRATION_RMI_ENABLED=false`\n\n### Credits\nThis vulnerability was responsibly disclosed by Mohamed Amine ait Ouchebou (mrecho) (Indiesecurity) via the Datadog bug bounty program.",
