An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-40827 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.pf4j:pf4j (Maven): affected all versions up to 3.9.0; no fix listed\n- org.pf4j:pf4j (Maven): affected all versions up to 3.9.0; 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-2023-40827/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40827/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40827","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40827/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40827","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2023-40827","GHSA-rvm8-j2cp-j592","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-40827"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"pf4j plugin framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in pf4j to execute arbitrary code and access sensitive information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pf4j","vendor":"pf4j_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"An issue in pf4j pf4j v.3.9.0 and before allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code via the loadpluginPath parameter.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"pf4j vulnerable to remote code execution via loadpluginPath parameter","id":"CVE-2023-40827","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"pf4j vulnerable to remote code execution via expandIfZip method in the extract function","id":"CVE-2023-40828"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.9.0"],"package":"org.pf4j:pf4j","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-rvm8-j2cp-j592"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["3.9.0"],"package":"org.pf4j:pf4j","purl":"pkg:maven/org.pf4j/pf4j","source":"GHSA-rvm8-j2cp-j592"}],"prev":{"headline":"pf4j vulnerable to remote code execution via the zippluginPath parameter","id":"CVE-2023-40826"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-08-28","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"pf4j is vulnerable to Path Traversal or Zip Slip attack through improper handling of zip entry names","id":"CVE-2025-70952","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"pf4j vulnerable to remote code execution via the zippluginPath parameter","id":"CVE-2023-40826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"pf4j vulnerable to remote code execution via expandIfZip method in the extract function","id":"CVE-2023-40828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-28"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-02","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in pf4j to execute arbitrary code and access sensitive information.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40827/"}
