Package        : libxstream-java
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-26217

It was discovered that the default blacklist of XStream, a Java library
to serialise objects to XML and back again, was vulnerable to the
execution of arbitrary shell commands by manipulating the processed
input stream.

For additional defense-in-depth it is recommended to switch to the
whitelist approach of XStream's security framework. For additional
information please refer to

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4.11.1-1+deb10u1.
