How to Fix CVE-2026-93970

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

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

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-93970, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software 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 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-259: Use of Hard-coded Password, where the product contains a hard-coded password, which it uses for its own inbound authentication or for outbound communication to external components. In Software, 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 flaw has been discovered in aiyiyi121 SxDevOps 1.0/1.1. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file backend/sxdevops/settings.py of the component Settings Handler. The manipulation results in hard-coded credentials. The attack may be performed from remote. The patch is identified as 2b4bf8585c3e731e7a8af30801ea46680bc783f9. Applying a patch is advised to resolve this issue. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.
