# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2013-3827

Advisory: Path Traversal in Eclipse Mojarra
IDs: CVE-2013-3827, GHSA-q388-j7cw-ff7w
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2013-3827 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:05 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: org.glassfish:javax.faces 2.1.19. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.glassfish:javax.faces: affected >= 2.0.0, < 2.1.19; fixed in 2.1.19

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.glassfish:javax.faces: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.glassfish:javax.faces.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
