How to Fix CVE-2024-9621

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Quarkus cxf dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

io.quarkiverse.cxf:quarkus-cxf fixed: 3.15.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkiverse.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-cxf</artifactId>
    <version>3.15.2</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=io.quarkiverse.cxf

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-9621, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.quarkiverse.cxf

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Quarkus cxf in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.15.2), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.quarkiverse.cxf 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-532: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File, where the product writes sensitive information to a log file. In Quarkus cxf, 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

A vulnerability was found in Quarkus CXF. Passwords and other secrets may appear in the application log in spite of the user configuring them to be hidden. This issue requires some special configuration to be vulnerable, such as SOAP logging enabled, application set client, and endpoint logging properties, and the attacker must have access to the application log.
