An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-9797 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.geode:geode-core (Maven): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.2.1\n- org.apache.geode:geode-core (Maven): affected from 1.0.0; fixed in 1.2.1\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-2017-9797/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9797/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-9797","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9797/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-9797","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vh98-fqfc-4hj3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Geode","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated clients in secure mode can leak application data type information and cause denial of service in Apache Geode clusters.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"geode","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"When an Apache Geode cluster before v1.2.1 is operating in secure mode, an unauthenticated client can enter multi-user authentication mode and send metadata messages.
