Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-46442 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.soot-oss:soot (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.4.1\n- org.soot-oss:soot (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 4.4.1\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-2023-46442/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-46442/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-46442","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-46442/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-46442","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hfg7-j82c-fr3w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java bytecode analysis library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service via an infinite loop in the Soot library's retrieveActiveBody function when running on Java 8.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"An infinite loop in the retrieveActiveBody function of Soot before v4.4.1 under Java 8 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-05-24","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2024-05-24T10:03:38Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/JAckLosingHeart/CVE-2023-46442_POC","stars":0,"title":"POC for CVE-2023-46442 Denial of Service vulnerability found within Soot"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Soot Infinite Loop vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-46442","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"AsyncSSH Rogue Extension Negotiation","id":"CVE-2023-46445"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.soot-oss:soot","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hfg7-j82c-fr3w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["4.4.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.soot-oss:soot","purl":"pkg:maven/org.soot-oss/soot","source":"GHSA-hfg7-j82c-fr3w"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-46435"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2024-05-24","related":[],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-13","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a Denial of Service via an infinite loop in the Soot library's retrieveActiveBody function when running on Java 8.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-46442/"}
