CVE-2016-1000027 is a potential remote code execution vulnerability in Pivotal Spring Framework through 5.3.16 when an application uses the framework to deserialize untrusted Java data. Exposure depends on the affected library's implementation in the consuming product. Spring considers deserialization of untrusted data outside its intended use case and retained the behavior because applications rely on deserialization of trusted data.

This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2016-1000027, a Java deserialization vulnerability in the Spring Framework's HttpInvokerServiceExporter. The project is structured as a multi-module Maven application with 'api', 'client', and 'server' components. The server exposes two endpoints ('/booking' and '/anotherBooking') using the vulnerable HttpInvokerServiceExporter class. The client module contains an 'Exploit' class that reads a malicious serialized Java payload (generated by ysoserial, e.g., CommonsCollections5) from 'payload.bin' and sends it via HTTP POST to the '/anotherBooking' endpoint on the server. If the server is running and vulnerable, this results in deserialization and execution of arbitrary code (such as launching 'gedit'). The repository demonstrates the risk of accepting untrusted serialized data in Java applications using deprecated Spring remoting classes. No hardcoded IPs or external domains are present; all endpoints are local (localhost:8080).
