How to Fix GHSA-4hrp-m3f2-643j

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

com.enonic.xp:lib-auth fixed: 7.7.4 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.enonic.xp</groupId>
    <artifactId>lib-auth</artifactId>
    <version>7.7.4</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.enonic.xp

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by GHSA-4hrp-m3f2-643j, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.enonic.xp

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.7.4), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.enonic.xp command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-384: Session Fixation, where authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-4m5p-5w5w-3jcf. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description Enonic XP versions less than 7.7.4 are vulnerable to a session fixation issue. An remote and unauthenticated attacker can use prior sessions due to the lack of invalidating session attributes.
