How to Fix CVE-2023-1784

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jeecg boot 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.jeecgframework.boot:jeecg-boot-parent fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jeecgframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>jeecg-boot-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.jeecgframework.boot

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-1784, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jeecgframework.boot

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jeecg boot 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.jeecgframework.boot 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-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. In Jeecg boot 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 vulnerability was found in jeecg-boot 3.5.0 that affects some unknown processing of the component API Documentation. The manipulation leads to improper authentication because the software does not prove or insufficiently proves that an identity claim is correct when an actor claims to have a given identity. The attack may be initiated remotely and the exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
