How to Fix CVE-2025-32896

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Apache SeaTunnel 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.seatunnel:seatunnel-engine-server fixed: 2.3.11 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.seatunnel</groupId>
    <artifactId>seatunnel-engine-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.11</version>
</dependency>
org.apache.seatunnel:seatunnel-engine-common fixed: 2.3.11 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.seatunnel</groupId>
    <artifactId>seatunnel-engine-common</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.11</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.seatunnel

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-32896, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

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

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Apache SeaTunnel in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.3.11), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.seatunnel 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-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function, where the product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources. In Apache SeaTunnel, 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

# Summary Unauthorized users can perform Arbitrary File Read and Deserialization attack by submit job using restful api-v1. # Details Unauthorized users can access `/hazelcast/rest/maps/submit-job` to submit job. An attacker can set extra params in mysql url to perform Arbitrary File Read and Deserialization attack. This issue affects Apache SeaTunnel: <=2.3.10 # Fixed Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.3.11, and enable restful api-v2 & open https two-way authentication , which fixes the issue.
