How to Fix CVE-2024-22399

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

org.apache.seata:seata-core fixed: 2.1.0

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.seata</groupId>
    <artifactId>seata-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0</version>
</dependency>

org.apache.seata:seata-core fixed: 1.8.1

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.seata</groupId>
    <artifactId>seata-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.1</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=org.apache.seata

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-22399, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.seata

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Seata core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.1.0), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.seata 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-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Seata core, 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

Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache Seata. When developers disable authentication on the Seata-Server and do not use the Seata client SDK dependencies, they may construct uncontrolled serialized malicious requests by directly sending bytecode based on the Seata private protocol. This issue affects Apache Seata: 2.0.0, from 1.0.0 through 1.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.0/1.8.1, which fixes the issue.
