How to Fix CVE-2024-27349

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Apache HugeGraph-Server 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.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-api fixed: 1.3.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.hugegraph</groupId>
    <artifactId>hugegraph-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</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.apache.hugegraph

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-27349, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.hugegraph

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apache HugeGraph-Server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.hugegraph 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.
