Which products are affected by CVE-2024-46983?

Affected package information for CVE-2024-46983 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I patch CVE-2024-46983?

Apply the antfin sofa-hessian security patch or hotfix for CVE-2024-46983 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.

How do I detect CVE-2024-46983 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every antfin sofa-hessian deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for remote code execution at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-46983 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2024-46983?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2024-46983 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2024-46983 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-46983 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-46983?

CVE-2024-46983 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 47th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2024-46983?

CVE-2024-46983 is classified as CWE-74 (CWE-74). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2024-46983?

CVE-2024-46983 affects antfin sofa-hessian. Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

When was CVE-2024-46983 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-46983 was published on September 19, 2024 and was last updated on June 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

sofa-hessian is an internal improved version of Hessian3/4 powered by Ant Group CO., Ltd. The SOFA Hessian protocol uses a blacklist mechanism to restrict deserialization of potentially dangerous classes for security protection. But there is a gadget chain that can bypass the SOFA Hessian blacklist protection mechanism, and this gadget chain only relies on JDK and does not rely on any third-party components. This issue is fixed by an update to the blacklist, users can upgrade to sofahessian version 3.5.5 to avoid this issue. Users unable to upgrade may maintain a blacklist themselves in the directory external/serialize.blacklist.
