{"id":"GHSA-mc84-xr9p-938r","summary":"High severity vulnerability that affects generator-jhipster","details":"## Generated code uses repository configuration that downloads over HTTP instead of HTTPS\n\n### Impact\nGradle users were using the http://repo.spring.io/plugins-release repositories in plain HTTP, and not HTTPS, so a man-in-the-middle attack was possible at build time.\n\n### Patches\n\nMaven users should at least upgrade to 6.3.0 while Gradle users should update to 6.3.1.\nIf you are not able to upgrade make sure not to use a Maven repository via `http` in your build file.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nReplace all custom repository definitions in `build.gradle` or `pom.xml` with their `https` version.\n\ne.g.\n\n```xml\n \u003crepository\u003e\n            \u003cid\u003eoss.sonatype.org-snapshot\u003c/id\u003e\n            \u003curl\u003ehttps://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots\u003c/url\u003e // \u003c-- must be httpS\n            \u003creleases\u003e\n                \u003cenabled\u003efalse\u003c/enabled\u003e\n            \u003c/releases\u003e\n            \u003csnapshots\u003e\n                \u003cenabled\u003etrue\u003c/enabled\u003e\n            \u003c/snapshots\u003e\n\u003c/repository\u003e\n```\n\n```gradle\nmaven { url \"https://repo.spring.io/plugins-release\" } // \u003c-- must be httpS\n```\n\n### References\n* https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator?vector=AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H\n* https://max.computer/blog/how-to-take-over-the-computer-of-any-java-or-clojure-or-scala-developer/\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues](https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/issues)\n\n","modified":"2021-09-15T18:50:22Z","published":"2019-09-23T18:31:05Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2020-06-16T21:45:50Z","nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-494","CWE-829"],"severity":"HIGH"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/security/advisories/GHSA-mc84-xr9p-938r"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-mc84-xr9p-938r"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-GENERATORJHIPSTER-536074"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"generator-jhipster","ecosystem":"npm","purl":"pkg:npm/generator-jhipster"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.3.1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2019/09/GHSA-mc84-xr9p-938r/GHSA-mc84-xr9p-938r.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
