Advisory Summary

CVE-2025-14017 is a MODERATE (CVSS 6.3) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-567: Unsynchronized Access to Shared Data in a Multithreaded Context) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product does not properly synchronize shared data, such as static variables across threads, which can lead to undefined behavior and unpredictable data changes.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2025-14017

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-2025-14017, 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-567: Unsynchronized Access to Shared Data in a Multithreaded Context, where the product does not properly synchronize shared data, such as static variables across threads, which can lead to undefined behavior and unpredictable data changes. 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

When doing multi-threaded LDAPS transfers (LDAP over TLS) with libcurl, changing TLS options in one thread would inadvertently change them globally and therefore possibly also affect other concurrently setup transfers. Disabling certificate verification for a specific transfer could unintentionally disable the feature for other threads as well.
