JDA (Java Discord API) downloads external URLs when updating message components

GHSA-93fv-4pm9-xp28

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (net.dv8tion:JDA 6.1.3), 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.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact Anyone using untrusted message components may be affected. On versions =6.0.0,<6.1.3 of JDA, the requester will attempt to download external media URLs from components if they are used in an update or send request. If you are used Message#getComponents or similar to get a list of components and then send those components with sendMessageComponents or other methods, you might unintentionally download media from an external URL in the resolved media of a Thumbnail, FileDisplay, or MediaGallery. Patches This bug has been fixed in 6.1.3, and we recommend updating. Workarounds Avoid sending components from untrusted messages or update to version 6.1.3.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-93fv-4pm9-xp28

Advisory: JDA (Java Discord API) downloads external URLs when updating message components
IDs: GHSA-93fv-4pm9-xp28
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-93fv-4pm9-xp28 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:43 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: net.dv8tion:JDA 6.1.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven net.dv8tion:JDA: affected >= 6.0.0, < 6.1.3; fixed in 6.1.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven net.dv8tion:JDA: 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 net.dv8tion:JDA.
- 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
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-93fv-4pm9-xp28 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-93fv-4pm9-xp28 lists affected ranges: Maven net.dv8tion:JDA >=6.0.0 <6.1.3)
