Hibernate Validator < 6.2 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 190605

Language:

Synopsis

A Java library on the remote host may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of Hibernate Validator on the remote host is prior to 6.2. It may, therefore, by affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A flaw was found in the isValid method in the org.hibernate.validator.internal.constraintvalidators.hv.SafeHtmlValidator class, which can be bypassed by omitting the tag ending in a less-than character.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to hibernate-validator 6.2 or later.
