SCA: security update for ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.core (GHSA-3ww8-jw56-9f5h)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439469

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - HAPI FHIR is a complete implementation of the HL7 FHIR standard for healthcare interoperability in Java.
 Prior to version 6.9.4, the /loadIG HTTP endpoint in the FHIR Validator HTTP service accepts a user-
 supplied URL via JSON body and makes server-side HTTP requests to it without any hostname, scheme, or
 domain validation. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the validator can probe internal
 network services, cloud metadata endpoints, and map network topology through error-based information
 leakage. With explore=true (the default for this code path), each request triggers multiple outbound HTTP
 calls, amplifying reconnaissance capability. This issue has been patched in version 6.9.4.
 (CVE-2026-34360)

Solution

Update the ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:org.hl7.fhir.core library and its related packages to version 6.9.4 or later.
