How to Fix CVE-2019-19135

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Sdk client 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.eclipse.milo:sdk-client fixed: 0.3.6 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.milo</groupId>
    <artifactId>sdk-client</artifactId>
    <version>0.3.6</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.eclipse.milo

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2019-19135, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.eclipse.milo

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sdk client in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.3.6), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.eclipse.milo 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-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials, where the product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval. In Sdk client, 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 Credential replay affecting those connected to a server when *all 3* of the following conditions are met: - `SecurityPolicy` is `None` - using username/password or X509-based authentication - the server has a defect causing it to send null/empty or zeroed nonces ### Patches The problem has been patched in version `0.3.6`. A more relaxed treatment of validation as agreed upon by the OPC UA Security Working Group is implemented in version `0.3.7`. ### Workarounds Do not use username/password or X509-based authentication with `SecurityPolicy` of `None`. ### References https://opcfoundation.org/SecurityBulletins/OPC%20Foundation%20Security%20Bulletin%20CVE-2019-19135.pdf ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue at [https://github.com/eclipse/milo/issues](https://github.com/eclipse/milo/issues) * Email [the mailing list](mailto:milo-dev@eclipse.org)
