How to Fix CVE-2018-1051

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Resteasy yaml provider 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.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-yaml-provider fixed: 3.6.0.Final

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
    <artifactId>resteasy-yaml-provider</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

org.jboss.resteasy:resteasy-yaml-provider fixed: 3.0.26.Final

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
    <artifactId>resteasy-yaml-provider</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.26.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=org.jboss.resteasy

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2018-1051, 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 yaml provider in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.6.0.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-502: Deserialization of Untrusted Data, where the product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid. In Resteasy yaml provider, 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

It was found that the fix for CVE-2016-9606 in versions 3.0.22 and 3.1.2 was incomplete and Yaml unmarshalling in Resteasy is still possible via `Yaml.load()` in YamlProvider. #### Mitigation: If the YamlProvider is enabled it's recommended to add authentication, and authorization to the endpoint expecting Yaml content to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.
