Do you remember Equifax? How did someone manage to steal the data of almost 200 million users? Well, Equifax simply fell victim to a vulnerability on a framework, Struts, which older developers like me remember well. No social skills needed, just some code. But you folks, who now use cooler things like Guava or Jackson, do you feel safe? Unfortunately, you are not.

After a clear introduction to the problem, with a couple of other illustrious examples, we will perform an exploit together, live, and then take a look at possible prevention strategies. This talk will open your eyes to a problem you did not know you had.
