3. Description:
Groovy is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, built
upon Java with features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby, and
Smalltalk. It seamlessly integrates with all existing Java objects and
libraries and compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere
you can use Java.
Security Fix(es):
* It was found that a flaw in Apache groovy library allows remote code
execution wherever deserialization occurs in the application. It is
possible for an attacker to craft a special serialized object that will
execute code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on
serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects are
subject to this vulnerability. (CVE-2016-6814)
