<dependency>
<groupId>com.xwiki.licensing</groupId>
<artifactId>application-licensing-licensor-ui</artifactId>
<version>1.24.2</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.xwiki.licensingHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-26138, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xwiki.licensingAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Application licensing licensor ui in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.24.2), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xwiki.licensing 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.

"details" : "### Impact\nThe licensor application includes the document `Licenses.Code.LicenseJSON` that provides information for admins regarding active licenses. This document is public and thus exposes this information publicly. The information includes the instance's id as well as first and last name and email of the license owner. This is a leak of information that isn't supposed to be public. The instance id allows associating data on the [active installs data](https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Active%20Installs%202%20API/) with the concrete XWiki instance. Active installs assures that \"there's no way to find who's having a given UUID\" (referring to the instance id). Further, the information who the license owner is and information about the obtained licenses can be used for targeted phishing attacks. Also, while user information is normally public, email addresses might only be displayed obfuscated (depending on the configuration).\n\n### Patches\nThis has been fixed in Application Licensing 1.24.2, by https://github.com/xwikisas/application-licensing/commit/d168fb88fc0d121bf95e769ea21c55c00bebe5a6\n\n### Workarounds\nThere are no known workarounds besides upgrading.\n\n### References\nFixed by https://github.com/xwikisas/application-licensing/commit/d168fb88fc0d121bf95e769ea21c55c00bebe5a6\n",
