Summary

Logistics Pipes is a modification for Minecraft Java Edition that contains a vulnerability allowing remote code execution due to the use of `ObjectInputStream#readObject` on untrusted data. The issue affects versions from 0.7.0.91 to 0.10.0.71, which were available for download between 2013 and 2016.

Risk Assessment

Organizations using vulnerable versions may be exposed to remote code execution by attackers, potentially leading to serious security breaches.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update to version 0.10.0.71 or newer, and if using vulnerable versions, to play in singleplayer mode as a temporary workaround.

Original NVD description (English source)

Logistics Pipes is a modification (a.k.a. mod) for the computer game Minecraft Java Edition. The mod used Java's `ObjectInputStream#readObject` on untrusted data coming from clients or servers over the network resulting in possible remote code execution when sending specifically crafted network packets after connecting. The affected versions were released between 2013 and 2016 and the issue (back then unknown) was fixed in 2016 by a refactoring of the network IO code. The issue is present in all Logistics Pipes versions ranged from 0.7.0.91 prior to 0.10.0.71, which were downloaded from different platforms summing up to multi-million downloads. For Minecraft version 1.7.10 the issue was fixed in build 0.10.0.71. Everybody on Minecraft 1.7.10 should check their version number of Logistics Pipes in their modlist and update, if the version number is smaller than 0.10.0.71. Any newer supported Minecraft version (like 1.12.2) never had a Logistics Pipes version with vulnerable code. The best available workaround for vulnerable versions is to play in singleplayer only or update to newer Minecraft versions and modpacks.
