How to Fix CVE-2023-6394

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Quarkus smallrye graphql 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.

io.quarkus:quarkus-smallrye-graphql-client fixed: 3.5.3 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-smallrye-graphql-client</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.3</version>
</dependency>
io.quarkus:quarkus-smallrye-graphql-client fixed: 2.13.9.Final 
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-smallrye-graphql-client</artifactId>
    <version>2.13.9.Final</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.quarkus

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-6394, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.quarkus

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Quarkus smallrye graphql client in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.5.3), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=io.quarkus 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-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Quarkus smallrye graphql client, 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 flaw was found in Quarkus. This issue occurs when receiving a request over websocket with no role-based permission specified on the GraphQL operation, Quarkus processes the request without authentication despite the endpoint being secured. This can allow an attacker to access information and functionality outside of normal granted API permissions.
