SCA: security update for io.appium:java-client (GHSA-28f5-38xr-jh2w)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445410
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Appium Java Client is the Java language binding for writing Appium tests that conform to the W3C WebDriver
protocol. From 8.2.1 until 10.1.1, when directConnect(true) is enabled,
AppiumCommandExecutor.setDirectConnect() reads the directConnectHost, directConnectPort, and
directConnectPath fields from the server's NEW_SESSION response and rebuilds the client's server URL from
them, validating only that the protocol is https, with no host allowlist or IP validation; a rogue or
compromised server can therefore redirect all subsequent session traffic to an arbitrary destination,
enabling full interception of session traffic and a server-side request forgery pivot to internal hosts,
including cloud metadata (IMDS) credential theft. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.1.1. (CVE-2026-43910)
Solution
Update the io.appium:java-client library and its related packages to version 10.1.1 or later.See Also
