How to Fix CVE-2018-8030

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Apache qpid broker j 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.qpid:apache-qpid-broker-j fixed: 7.1.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId>
    <artifactId>apache-qpid-broker-j</artifactId>
    <version>7.1.0</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.qpid

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2018-8030, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

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

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apache qpid broker j in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.1.0), your application is affected.

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