Security Impact
CVSS: 5.4
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2022-29237
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Opencast ingest service impl 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>org.opencastproject</groupId>
<artifactId>opencast-ingest-service-impl</artifactId>
<version>10.14</version>
</dependency><dependency>
<groupId>org.opencastproject</groupId>
<artifactId>opencast-ingest-service-impl</artifactId>
<version>11.7</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.opencastprojectHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-29237, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.opencastprojectAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Opencast ingest service impl in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 10.14), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.opencastproject 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-287: Improper Authentication, where when an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. In Opencast ingest service impl, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "Prior to Opencast 10.14 and 11.7, users could pass along URLs for files belonging to organizations other than the user's own, which Opencast would then import into the current organization, bypassing organizational barriers.\n\n### Impact\n\nThe vulnerability allows attackers to bypass organizational barriers. Attackers must have full access to Opencast's ingest REST interface, and also know internal links to resources in another organization of the same Opencast cluster.\n\nIf you do not run a multi-tenant cluster, you are not affected by this issue.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis issue is fixed in Opencast 10.14 and 11.7.\n\n### References\n\n- [Patch fixing the issue](https://github.com/opencast/opencast/commit/8d5ec1614eed109b812bc27b0c6d3214e456d4e7)\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [our issue tracker](https://github.com/opencast/opencast/issues)\n* Email us at [security@opencast.org](mailto:security@opencast.org)\n",
