How to Fix CVE-2024-39954

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Eventmesh runtime 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.eventmesh:eventmesh-runtime fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.eventmesh</groupId>
    <artifactId>eventmesh-runtime</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=org.apache.eventmesh

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-39954, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

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

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Eventmesh runtime 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.apache.eventmesh 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-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Eventmesh runtime, 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

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in eventmesh-runtime module in WebhookUtil.java on windows\linux\mac os e.g. allows the attacker can abuse functionality on the server to read or update internal resources. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.12.0 or use the master branch, which fixes this issue.
