HIGHCVE-2021-45647 is a HIGH security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.
CVE-2021-45647 at a Glance
How to Fix CVE-2021-45647
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.
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:treeHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2021-45647, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:treeAnalyze 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.
