How to Fix CVE-2022-26049

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Goomph 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.diffplug.gradle:goomph fixed: 3.37.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.diffplug.gradle</groupId>
    <artifactId>goomph</artifactId>
    <version>3.37.2</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.diffplug.gradle

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-26049, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.diffplug.gradle

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Goomph in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.37.2), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.diffplug.gradle 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-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In Goomph, 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

This affects the package com.diffplug.gradle:goomph before 3.37.2. It allows a malicious zip file to potentially break out of the expected destination directory, writing contents into arbitrary locations on the file system. Overwriting certain files/directories could allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution on a target system by exploiting this vulnerability. **Note:** This could have allowed a malicious zip file to extract itself into an arbitrary directory. The only file that Goomph extracts is the p2 bootstrapper and eclipse metadata files hosted at eclipse.org, which are not malicious, so the only way this vulnerability could have affected you is if you had set a custom bootstrap zip, and that zip was malicious.
