Advisory Summary

CVE-2026-7165 is a CRITICAL security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-20: Improper Input Validation) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2026-7165

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-2026-7165, 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-20: Improper Input Validation, where the product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. 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

The vulnerability is present in the ‘/addJugador’ endpoint: * The 'keyJugador' and 'keyJugadorObjectiu' parameters allow the modification of other users’ information without requiring prior authorization validation. This could enable an authenticated attacker to alter any user’s ID and change their information. * The ‘punts’ and ‘numObjectiusEliminats’ fields allow arbitrary data to be added because user input is not properly validated. This makes it possible to obtain authentic prizes, awarded by city councils, by falsifying game scores. * In the ‘tokens’ field, administrative privileges can be self-assigned without server validation or prior authentication. This vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker to grant themselves administrator permissions and thus escalate privileges. * Numeric fields allow the entry of extremely long values, which can cause the system to crash. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker to launch a denial-of-service (DoS) attack, preventing created games from being playable. * The ‘urlImatge’ parameter allows server-side requests to arbitrary URLs, enabling the retrieval of users’ internal IP addresses, access to internal services, reading of local files, and unauthorized interaction with third-party APIs. An authenticated attacker could gain access to sensitive data.
