    Apache Commons BCEL vulnerable to out-of-bounds write

    CVE-2022-42920 · GHSA-97xg-phpr-rg8q

    Affected
    • Maven org.apache.bcel:bcel < 6.6.0
    Fixed in
    6.6.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Apache Commons BCEL has a number of APIs that would normally only allow changing specific class characteristics. However, due to an out-of-bounds writing issue, these APIs can be used to produce arbitrary bytecode. This could be abused in applications that pass attacker-controllable data to those APIs, giving the attacker more control over the resulting bytecode than otherwise expected. Update to Apache Commons BCEL 6.6.0.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 6.6.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
