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-2023-40743 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.axis:axis (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.4; no fix listed\n- org.apache.axis:axis (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.4; no fix listed\n- axis:axis (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.4; no fix listed\n- axis:axis (Maven): affected all versions up to 1.4; no fix listed\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-2023-40743/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40743/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40743","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40743/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40743","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-40743","DLA-3622-1","GHSA-rmqp-9w4c-gc7w","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-40743","USN-6470-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"end_of_life","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Axis SOAP library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trigger SSRF, DoS, or RCE by passing untrusted input to the getService method in the unsupported Apache Axis 1.x library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"ssrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"axis","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-75","name":"Failure to Sanitize Special Elements into a Different Plane"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** When integrating Apache Axis 1.x in an application, it may not have been obvious that looking up a service through \"ServiceFactory.getService\" allows potentially dangerous lookup mechanisms such as LDAP.
