How to Fix CVE-2025-32959
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Cuba core 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>com.haulmont.cuba</groupId>
<artifactId>cuba-core</artifactId>
<version>7.2.23</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.haulmont.cubaHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-32959, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.haulmont.cubaAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Cuba core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.2.23), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.haulmont.cuba 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.

An attacker could exploit this by uploading excessively large files, potentially causing the server to run out of space and return HTTP 500 error, resulting in a denial of service.\n\nThe 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.\n\n### Patches\n\nThe problem has been fixed in CUBA 7.2.23.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nA workaround for those who are unable to upgrade: [Disable Files Endpoint in CUBA Application](https://docs.jmix.io/jmix/files-vulnerabilities.html#disable-files-endpoint-in-cuba-application).\n\n### References\n\n[Files Functionality Vulnerabilities :: Jmix Documentation](https://docs.jmix.io/jmix/files-vulnerabilities.html)\n\nSimilar vulnerability in Jmix: [DoS in the Local File Storage · Advisory · jmix-framework/jmix](https://github.com/jmix-framework/jmix/security/advisories/GHSA-f3gv-cwwh-758m)",
