Security Impact
CVSS: 8.1
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
How to Fix GHSA-q2fj-6h62-59m2
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Apiman gateway platforms vertx dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.apiman</groupId>
<artifactId>apiman-gateway-platforms-vertx</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.apiman</groupId>
<artifactId>apiman-distro-vertx</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.apiman
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by GHSA-q2fj-6h62-59m2, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.apiman
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apiman gateway platforms vertx in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.0.0.Final), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.apiman 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.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nIf you are using the **Apiman Vert.x Gateway** prior to Apiman 3.0.0.Final, a connection caching issue in Hazelcast could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access and manipulate data in the cluster with another authenticated connection's identity.\n\nHazelcast is a transitive dependency of the Apiman Vert.x Gateway.\n\nThe precise risk is difficult to quantify at this juncture as plugins deployed by users may make use of Hazelcast in a different manner to the main Apiman codebase.\n\nIf any of your custom Apiman plugins specify Hazelcast dependencies, you should also bump these versions. \n\nHint: an easy way to track Apiman dependency versions is to use `apiman-parent`.\n\nIf you use the Apiman Tomcat or WildFly Gateway this does not affect you.\n\n### Patches\n\nUpgrade to **Apiman 3.0.0.Final or later**.\n\nIf you are using an older version of Apiman and need to remain on that version, contact to your Apiman support provider for advice/long-term support.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nNone (other than doing your own build).\n\n### References\n\n* https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-c5hg-mr8r-f6jp",
