How to Fix CVE-2015-2913

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Orientdb server 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.orientechnologies:orientdb-server fixed: 2.0.15 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.orientechnologies</groupId>
    <artifactId>orientdb-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.15</version>
</dependency>
com.orientechnologies:orientdb-server fixed: 2.1.1 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.orientechnologies</groupId>
    <artifactId>orientdb-server</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1</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.orientechnologies

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2015-2913, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.orientechnologies

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Orientdb server in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.0.15), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.orientechnologies 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-330: Use of Insufficiently Random Values, where the product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers. In Orientdb server, 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

OrientDB Server Community Edition before 2.0.15 and 2.1.x before 2.1.1 improperly relies on the `java.util.Random` class for generation of random Session ID values in the `server/network/protocol/http/OHttpSessionManager.java`, which makes it easier for remote attackers to predict a value by determining the internal state of the PRNG in this class.
