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.jboss.resteasy

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2023-0482, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jboss.resteasy

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Resteasy core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 6.2.3.Final), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.jboss.resteasy 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-378: Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions, where opening temporary files without appropriate measures or controls can leave the file, its contents and any function that it impacts vulnerable to attack. In Resteasy 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

### Impact In RESTEasy the insecure `File.createTempFile()` is used in the `DataSourceProvider`, `FileProvider` and `Mime4JWorkaround` classes which creates temp files with insecure permissions that could be read by a local user. ### Patches Fixed in the following pull requests: * https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy/pull/3409 (7.0.0.Alpha1) * https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy/pull/3423 (6.2.3.Final) * https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy/pull/3412 (5.0.6.Final) * https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy/pull/3413 (4.7.8.Final) * https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy/pull/3410 (3.15.5.Final) ### Workarounds There is no workaround for this issue. ### References * https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-0482 * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2166004 * https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-jrmh-v64j-mjm9
