# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2023-42276

Advisory: hutool Buffer Overflow vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2023-42276, GHSA-rxgf-r843-g53h
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2023-42276 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:16 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor response not established. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven cn.hutool:hutool-json: affected <= 5.8.21
- Maven cn.hutool:hutool-core: affected <= 5.8.21

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven cn.hutool:hutool-json: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven cn.hutool:hutool-core: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on cn.hutool:hutool-json, cn.hutool:hutool-core.
- 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.
