TL;DR

Hutool’s ExpressionEngine interface defines the allowClassSet parameter, which restricts the Java classes accessible during expression evaluation. However, the built-in engines — SpELEngine, MvelEngine, and RhinoEngine — do not enforce this, allowing unrestricted access and potentially leading to remote code execution (RCE). Additionally, with an empty whitelist, ValidateObjectInputStream allows all classes under the java.* package, and JNDIUtil.createInitialContext() does not restrict JNDI URL protocols or remote class loading.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and if you are using ValidateObjectInputStream or JNDIUtil.createInitialContext methods.
