Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from missing input validation for path-related parameters across multiple administration console components. The commit adds InputUtils.validateSafeInput()
calls to these specific functions, indicating they previously lacked validation. Each function handles parameters explicitly listed in the CVE description (group/artifact/version/fileType for Repository, filename
for Keystores, createDB
for DB Manager). The direct correlation between patched functions and vulnerability parameters, combined with the directory traversal pattern checks added in validation, confirms their vulnerability.
