How to Fix CVE-2026-53698

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Silverpeas core war 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.silverpeas.core:silverpeas-core-war fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.silverpeas.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>silverpeas-core-war</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</version>
</dependency>
org.silverpeas.core:silverpeas-core fixed: Latest secure release 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.silverpeas.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>silverpeas-core</artifactId>
    <version>Latest secure release</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.silverpeas.core

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-53698, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.silverpeas.core

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

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.silverpeas.core 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-36: Absolute Path Traversal, where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as "/abs/path" that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. In Silverpeas core war, 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

Silverpeas through 6.4.6 mishandles the "Personal space" feature that is selected when no componentId is set.
