Ajera Timesheets <= 9.10.16 - Deserialization of untrusted data

Ajera is a software written in .NET by Deltek. Version <= 9.10.16 allows an attacker to cause the software to deserialize untrusted data that can result in remote code execution. Secure/SAService.rem in Deltek Ajera Timesheets <= 9.10.16 are vulnerable to remote code execution via deserialization of untrusted user input from an authenticated user. The executed code will run as the IIS Application Pool that is running the application.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user input is properly validated and sanitized before deserializing it.
