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.hazelcast

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-36437, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.hazelcast

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Hazelcast in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.12.13), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.hazelcast 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-384: Session Fixation, where authenticating a user, or otherwise establishing a new user session, without invalidating any existing session identifier gives an attacker the opportunity to steal authenticated sessions. In Hazelcast, 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

### Impact The Connection handler in Hazelcast and Hazelcast Jet allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access and manipulate data in the cluster with another authenticated connection's identity. The affected Hazelcast versions are through 3.12.12, 4.0.6, 4.1.9, 4.2.5, 5.0.3, and 5.1.2. The affected Hazelcast Jet versions are through 4.5.3. ### Patches Hazelcast Jet (and Enterprise) 4.5.4. Hazelcast IMDG (and Enterprise)3.12.13 Hazelcast IMDG (and Enterprise) 4.1.10 Hazelcast IMDG (and Enterprise) 4.2.6 Hazelcast Platform (and Enterprise) 5.1.3 ### Workarounds There is no known workaround, but setups with TLS and mutual authentication enabled significantly lowers the exploitation risk. ### References https://support.hazelcast.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-for-CVE-2022-36437
