DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was found in javahongxi whatsmars 2021.4.0. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is the function initialize of the file /whatsmars-archetypes/whatsmars-initializr/src/main/java/org/hongxi/whatsmars/initializr/controller/InitializrController.java. The manipulation of the argument artifactId leads to path traversal. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal vulnerability in whatsmars 2021.4.0 allows remote authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files via the artifactId parameter in the InitializrController. Public exploit code exists, but EPSS score is low (0.12%), indicating limited exploitation likelihood. No active exploitation reported in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a path traversal (CWE-22) in a Java-based Spring Initializr controller. The affected function is initialize in InitializrController.java, which handles artifactId parameter without proper sanitization, allowing directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to read files outside the intended directory. The product is a sample project for Spring Boot archetypes.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. As a workaround, restrict access to the InitializrController endpoint (e.g., via network filtering or authentication) or validate and sanitize the artifactId parameter to block path traversal sequences (e.g., reject inputs containing '../'). Note that disabling the endpoint may break functionality.
