ZK Framework vulnerable to malicious POST

CVE-2022-36537GHSA-6278-2q4m-cmf3

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (org.zkoss.zk:zk 9.6.2, 9.6.0.2, 9.5.1.4, 9.0.1.3, 8.6.4.2), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-36537

Advisory: ZK Framework vulnerable to malicious POST
IDs: CVE-2022-36537, GHSA-6278-2q4m-cmf3
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-36537 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:40 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5)
Exploitation: confirmed: listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: org.zkoss.zk:zk 9.6.2, 9.6.0.2, 9.5.1.4, 9.0.1.3, 8.6.4.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.zkoss.zk:zk: affected < 8.6.4.2; >= 9.0.0.0, < 9.0.1.3; >= 9.5.0.0, < 9.5.1.4; >= 9.6.0.0, < 9.6.0.2; >= 9.6.1, < 9.6.2; fixed in 8.6.4.2, 9.6.2, 9.0.1.3, 9.5.1.4, 9.6.0.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.zkoss.zk:zk: 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.zkoss.zk:zk.
- 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?
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
