## What is CVE-2022-36022?

CVE-2022-36022 is a medium-severity vulnerability in eclipse deeplearning4j, published on 10 Nov 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Deeplearning4J is a suite of tools for deploying and training deep learning models using the JVM. Packages org.deeplearning4j:dl4j-examples and org.deeplearning4j:platform-tests through version 1.0.0-M2.1 may use some unclaimed S3 buckets in tests in examples. This is likely affect people who use some older NLP examples that reference an old S3 bucket. The problem has been patched. Users should upgrade to snapshots as Deeplearning4J plan to publish a release with the fix at a later date. As a workaround, download a word2vec google news vector from a new source using git lfs from here.

Weakness: CWE-330 (Use of Insufficiently Random Values), CWE-344 (Use of Invariant Value in Dynamically Changing Context)

What it is: CVE-2022-36022 is a medium-severity vulnerability in eclipse deeplearning4j, published on 10 Nov 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-36022 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- org.deeplearning4j:dl4j-examples (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.0.0-M2.1; no fix listed
- org.deeplearning4j:dl4j-examples (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.0.0-M2.1; no fix listed
- org.deeplearning4j:platform-tests (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.0.0-M2.1; no fix listed
- org.deeplearning4j:platform-tests (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.0.0-M2.1; no fix listed

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
