CVE-2013-7397 at a Glance
How to Fix CVE-2013-7397
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Async http client 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.ning</groupId>
<artifactId>async-http-client</artifactId>
<version>1.9.0</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.ningHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2013-7397, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.ningAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Async http client in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.9.0), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.ning 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-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity, where the product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data. In Async http client, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
