How to Fix CVE-2024-3462

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ant media server 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.antmedia:ant-media-server fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.antmedia</groupId>
    <artifactId>ant-media-server</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.antmedia

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-3462, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.antmedia

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ant media server 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.antmedia 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-302: Authentication Bypass by Assumed-Immutable Data, where the authentication scheme or implementation uses key data elements that are assumed to be immutable, but can be controlled or modified by the attacker. In Ant media server, 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

Ant Media Server Community Edition in a default configuration is vulnerable to an improper HTTP header based authorization, leading to a possible use of non-administrative API calls reserved only for authorized users.  All versions up to 2.9.0 (tested) and possibly newer ones are believed to be vulnerable as the vendor has not confirmed releasing a patch.
