Overview

commons-codec:commons-codec is a package that contains simple encoder and decoders for various formats such as Base64 and Hexadecimal.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When there is no byte array value that can be encoded into a string the Base32 implementation does not reject it, and instead decodes it into an arbitrary value which can be re-encoded again using the same implementation. This allows for information exposure exploits such as tunneling additional information via seemingly valid base 32 strings.

Remediation

Upgrade commons-codec:commons-codec to version 1.14 or higher.

Overview

junit:junit is an unit testing framework for Java

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The JUnit4 test rule TemporaryFolder contains a local information disclosure vulnerability. On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. Because of this, when files and directories are written into this directory they are, by default, readable by other users on that same system.

Note: This vulnerability does not allow other users to overwrite the contents of these directories or files. This only affects Unix like systems.

Remediation

Upgrade junit:junit to version 4.13.1 or higher.
