How to Fix CVE-2025-13806

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

org.nutz:nutzboot-parent fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.nutz</groupId>
    <artifactId>nutzboot-parent</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</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=org.nutz

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-13806, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.nutz

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

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.nutz 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-266: Incorrect Privilege Assignment, where a product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. In Nutzboot parent, 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

A security vulnerability has been detected in nutzam NutzBoot up to 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT. This impacts an unknown function of the file nutzboot-demo/nutzboot-demo-simple/nutzboot-demo-simple-web3j/src/main/java/io/nutz/demo/simple/module/EthModule.java of the component Transaction API. The manipulation of the argument from/to/wei leads to improper authorization. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
