Advisory Summary

CVE-2024-39565 is a HIGH (CVSS 8.8) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-643: Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions ('XPath Injection')) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product uses external input to dynamically construct an xpath expression used to retrieve data from an xml database, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes that input. this allows an attacker to control the structure of the query.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2024-39565

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.

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

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-39565, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze 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.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-643: Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions ('XPath Injection'), where the product uses external input to dynamically construct an xpath expression used to retrieve data from an xml database, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes that input. this allows an attacker to control the structure of the query. In Software, 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

An Improper Neutralization of Data within XPath Expressions ('XPath Injection') vulnerability in J-Web shipped with Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to execute remote commands on the target device.  While an administrator is logged into a J-Web session or has previously logged in and subsequently logged out of their J-Web session, the attacker can arbitrarily execute commands on the target device with the other user's credentials. In the worst case, the attacker will have full control over the device. This issue affects Junos OS:  * All versions before 21.2R3-S8,  * from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S7, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4, * from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3, * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2, * from 23.2 before 23.2R2, * from 23.4 before 23.4R1-S1, 23.4R2.
