CVE-2022-36007 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 6.1
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2022-36007
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Venice dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.jlangch</groupId>
<artifactId>venice</artifactId>
<version>1.10.17</version>
</dependency>
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.github.jlangch
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-36007, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.github.jlangch
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Venice in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.10.17), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.github.jlangch 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 Venice, 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.

"summary" : "Venice vulnerable to Partial Path Traversal issue within the functions `load-file` and `load-resource`",
"details" : "### Impact\nA partial path traversal issue exists within the functions `load-file` and `load-resource`. These functions can be limited to load files from a list of load paths.\n\nAssuming Venice has been configured with the load paths: `[ \"/Users/foo/resources\" ]` \n\nWhen passing **relative** paths to these two vulnerable functions everything is fine:\n`(load-resource \"test.png\")` => loads the file \"/Users/foo/resources/test.png\"\n`(load-resource \"../resources-alt/test.png\")` => rejected, outside the load path\n\nWhen passing **absolute** paths to these two vulnerable functions Venice may return files outside the configured load paths:\n`(load-resource \"/Users/foo/resources/test.png\")` => loads the file \"/Users/foo/resources/test.png\"\n`(load-resource \"/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png\")` => loads the file \"/Users/foo/resources-alt/test.png\" !!!\nThe latter call suffers from the _Partial Path Traversal_ vulnerability.\n\nThis issue’s scope is limited to absolute paths whose name prefix matches a load path. E.g. for a load-path `\"/Users/foo/resources\"`, the actor can cause loading a resource also from `\"/Users/foo/resources-alt\"`, but not from `\"/Users/foo/images\"`.\n\nVersions of Venice before and including v1.10.16 are affected by this issue.\n\n### Patches\nUpgrade to Venice >= 1.10.17, if you are on a version < 1.10.17\n\n### Workarounds\nIf you cannot upgrade the library, you can control the functions that can be used in Venice with a sandbox. If it is appropriate, the functions `load-file` and `load-resource` can be blacklisted in the sandbox.\n\n### References\n * [PR](https://github.com/jlangch/venice/pull/4/commits/c942c73136333bc493050910f171a48e6f575b23)\n \n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [GitHub Venice](https://github.com/jlangch/venice)\n* Email us at [juerg.ch](mailto:juerg.ch@ggaweb.ch)\n\n### Credits\n\nI want to publicly recognize the contribution of [Jonathan Leitschuh](https://github.com/JLLeitschuh) for reporting this issue.",
