How to Fix CVE-2025-32950

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jmix localfs 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.jmix.localfs:jmix-localfs fixed: 1.6.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jmix.localfs</groupId>
    <artifactId>jmix-localfs</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.2</version>
</dependency>
io.jmix.localfs:jmix-localfs fixed: 2.4.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.jmix.localfs</groupId>
    <artifactId>jmix-localfs</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.0</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.jmix.localfs

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-32950, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.jmix.localfs

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jmix localfs in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.2), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.jmix.localfs 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-35: Path Traversal: '.../...//', where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '.../...//' (doubled triple dot slash) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Jmix localfs, 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

### Impact Attackers could manipulate the `FileRef` parameter to access files on the system where the Jmix application is deployed, provided the application server has the necessary permissions. This can be accomplished either by modifying the `FileRef` directly in the database or by supplying a harmful value in the `fileRef` parameter of the `/files` endpoint of the generic REST API. Arbitrary file reading on the operating system where the Jmix process is running. The severity of the vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the application UI and the generic REST API are typically accessible only to authenticated users. Additionally, the `/files` endpoint in Jmix requires specific permissions and is disabled by default. ### Workarounds A workaround for those who are unable to upgrade: [Fix Path Traversal in Jmix Application](https://docs.jmix.io/jmix/files-vulnerabilities.html#fix-path-traversal-in-jmix-application). ### Credit Cai, Qi Qi of Siemens China Cybersecurity Testing Center - Shadowless Lab
