How to Fix CVE-2023-31469

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Streampipes parent 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.streampipes:streampipes-parent fixed: 0.92.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.streampipes</groupId>
    <artifactId>streampipes-parent</artifactId>
    <version>0.92.0</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.streampipes

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-31469, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

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

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Streampipes parent in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.92.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.streampipes 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-269: Improper Privilege Management, where the product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. In Streampipes parent, 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 REST interface in Apache StreamPipes (versions 0.69.0 to 0.91.0) was not properly restricted to admin-only access. This allowed a non-admin user with valid login credentials to elevate privileges beyond the initially assigned roles. The issue is resolved by upgrading to StreamPipes 0.92.0.
