Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information vulnerability in Maven Archetype Plugin.

Published Sep 26, 2024CWE-200EPSS 0.84%

Overview

CVE-2024-47197 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 26, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information vulnerability in Maven Archetype Plugin.

This issue affects Maven Archetype Plugin: from 3.2.1 before 3.3.0.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.3.0, which fixes the issue.

Archetype integration testing creates a file

called ./target/classes/archetype-it/archetype-settings.xml

This file contains all the content from the users ~/.m2/settings.xml file,

which often contains information they do not want to publish. We expect that on many developer machines, this also contains

credentials.

When the user runs mvn verify again (without a mvn clean), this file becomes part of

the final artifact.

If a developer were to publish this into Maven Central or any other remote repository (whether as a release

or a snapshot) their credentials would be published without them knowing.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
