A vulnerability was found in Hibernate-Validator.
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 25/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 81.8% of all records.
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven) 6.0.18.Final, 6.1.0.Alpha6; org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator (Maven) 6.0.18.Final, 6.1.0.Alpha6; eap7-apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7.2::el6) 0:3.2.11-1.redhat_00001.1.el6eap.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.hibernate:hibernate-validator (Maven) 6.0.18.Final, 6.1.0.Alpha6; org.hibernate.validator:hibernate-validator (Maven) 6.0.18.Final, 6.1.0.Alpha6; eap7-apache-cxf (Red Hat:jboss_enterprise_application_platform:7.2::el6) 0:3.2.11-1.redhat_00001.1.el6eap or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A vulnerability was found in Hibernate-Validator. The SafeHtml validator annotation fails to properly sanitize payloads consisting of potentially malicious code in HTML comments and instructions. This vulnerability can result in an XSS attack.

Limit the impact of XSS
This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A well-configured Content-Security-Policy doesn't fix it, but greatly reduces its impact. Check your site's CSP and other security headers for free.
