CVE-2019-17570:

An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code. Apache XML-RPC is no longer maintained and this issue will not be fixed.

This seems to indicate xmlrpc is no longer maintained: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/01/24/2
