Title
Improper deserialization handling in Control-M Components
Summary
Messaging consumer functionality allows deserialization of user-controlled data without sufficient restriction of allowed object types in the out of support Control-M/Server and Control-M/Enterprise Manager versions 9.0.20.x and potentially earlier. This issue may allow an authenticated attacker to trigger unintended server-side behavior through crafted serialized content.
