How to Fix CVE-2025-7789

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Xxl job admin dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

com.xuxueli:xxl-job-admin fixed: 3.2.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.xuxueli</groupId>
    <artifactId>xxl-job-admin</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0</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=com.xuxueli

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-7789, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xuxueli

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Xxl job admin in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.2.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.xuxueli 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-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength, where the product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required. In Xxl job admin, 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 vulnerability was found in Xuxueli xxl-job up to 3.1.1 and classified as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function makeToken of the file src/main/java/com/xxl/job/admin/controller/IndexController.java of the component Token Generation. The manipulation leads to password hash with insufficient computational effort. The attack may be launched remotely. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
