How to Fix CVE-2017-10862

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

io.really:jwt-scala fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.really</groupId>
    <artifactId>jwt-scala</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=io.really

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2017-10862, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.really

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jwt scala 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=io.really 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-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity, where the product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data. In Jwt scala, 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

jwt-scala 1.2.2 and earlier fails to verify token signatures correctly which may lead to an attacker being able to pass specially crafted JWT data as a correctly signed token.
