Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=ca.uhn.hapi.fhir
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-33180, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=ca.uhn.hapi.fhir
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Org.hl7.fhir.utilities in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.9.0), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=ca.uhn.hapi.fhir 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-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Org.hl7.fhir.utilities, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
