How to Fix CVE-2022-28731

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jspwiki main 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.apache.jspwiki:jspwiki-main fixed: 2.11.3 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.jspwiki</groupId>
    <artifactId>jspwiki-main</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.3</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.apache.jspwiki

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-28731, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.jspwiki

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jspwiki main in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.11.3), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.jspwiki 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-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), where the web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor. In Jspwiki main, 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

A carefully crafted request on UserPreferences.jsp could trigger an CSRF vulnerability on Apache JSPWiki before 2.11.3, which could allow the attacker to modify the email associated with the attacked account, and then a reset password request from the login page.
