It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7536 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven): affected from 5.2.0; fixed in 5.2.5.Final\n- org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven): affected from 5.2.0; fixed in 5.2.5.Final\n- org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven): affected from 5.3.0; fixed in 5.3.6.Final\n- org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven): affected from 5.3.0; fixed in 5.3.6.Final\n- org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven): affected from 5.4.0; fixed in 5.4.2.Final\n- org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven): affected from 5.4.0; fixed in 5.4.2.Final\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7536/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7536/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7536","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7536/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7536","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-7536","GHSA-xxgp-pcfc-3vgc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Java validation library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges and read private member values by exploiting reflective permission checks in Hibernate Validator when specific security manager permissions are granted.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"hibernate_validator","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"jboss_enterprise_application_platform","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"satellite","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"satellite_capsule","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"virtualization","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"virtualization_host","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-470","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code"},{"id":"CWE-592","name":"DEPRECATED: Authentication Bypass Issues"}],"description":"In Hibernate Validator 5.2.x before 5.2.5 final, 5.3.x, and 5.4.x, it was found that when the security manager's reflective permissions, which allows it to access the private members of the class, are granted to Hibernate Validator, a potential privilege escalation can occur.
