How to Fix CVE-2025-10713
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Org.wso2.carbon.localentry dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.wso2.carbon.mediation</groupId>
<artifactId>org.wso2.carbon.localentry</artifactId>
<version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.carbon.mediationHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-10713, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.wso2.carbon.mediationAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Org.wso2.carbon.localentry 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.wso2.carbon.mediation 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-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference, where the product processes an xml document that can contain xml entities with uris that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output. In Org.wso2.carbon.localentry, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
