Thomas Andraschko commented on MYFACES-4133:
--------------------------------------------
[~lu4242] I had a look at it but not sure. IMO the code in
DefaultStateTokenProcessor should be moved to
ServerSideStateCacheImpl/ServerSideStateCacheImpl. The impl can easily decide
if StateUtils#construce or reconstruct needs to be called. The
DefaultStateTokenProcessor is IMO a little bit to much of abstraction and could
be better moved into *StateCacheImpl.
Would be great if you could take care of this issue. You know this part very
good.
> Don't deserialize the ViewState-ID if the state saving method is server
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYFACES-4133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4133
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: General
> Affects Versions: 2.2.12
> Reporter: Peter Stöckli
>
> Currently the ViewState-ID provided by the user is deserialized via Java
> deserialization even when the {{javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD}} is set to
> {{server}} (the default).
> The deserialization in this case is unecessary and most likely even slower
> than just sending the ViewState Id directly.
> If a developer now disables the ViewState encryption by setting
> {{org.apache.myfaces.USE_ENCRYPTION}} to {{false}} (against the [MyFaces
> security advice|https://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Secure_Your_Application]) he
> might have unintentionally introduced a dangerous remote code execution (RCE)
> vulnerability as described
> [here|https://www.alphabot.com/security/blog/2017/java/Misconfigured-JSF-ViewStates-can-lead-to-severe-RCE-vulnerabilities.html].
> This has been discussed before on [Issue
> MYFACES-4021|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-4021].
