How to Fix CVE-2025-54380
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Opencast common dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.opencastproject</groupId>
<artifactId>opencast-common</artifactId>
<version>17.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.opencastproject</groupId>
<artifactId>opencast-kernel</artifactId>
<version>17.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.opencastproject</groupId>
<artifactId>opencast-ingest-service-impl</artifactId>
<version>17.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.opencastproject</groupId>
<artifactId>opencast-publication-service-oaipmh-remote</artifactId>
<version>17.6</version>
</dependency>
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.opencastproject
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2025-54380, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.opencastproject
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Opencast common in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 17.6), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.opencastproject 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-522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials, where the product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval. In Opencast common, 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.

"details" : "### Description\nOpencast prior to versions 17.6 would incorrectly send the hashed global system account credentials (ie: `org.opencastproject.security.digest.user` and `org.opencastproject.security.digest.pass`) when attempting to fetch mediapackage elements included in a mediapackage XML file. A [previous CVE](https://github.com/opencast/opencast/security/advisories/GHSA-hcxx-mp6g-6gr9) prevented many cases where the credentials were inappropriately sent, but not all. The remainder are addressed with this patch.\n\n### Impact\nAnyone with ingest permissions could cause Opencast to send its hashed global system account credentials to a url of their choosing.\n\n### Patches\nThis issue is fixed in Opencast 17.6\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n- Open an issue in our [issue tracker](https://github.com/opencast/opencast/issues)\n- Email us at security@opencast.org",
