CVE-2024-47197
Description
A flaw was found in the Maven Archetype Plugin. Archetype integration testing can create a file called ./target/classes/archetype-it/archetype-settings.xml This file contains all the content from the users ~/.m2/settings.xml file, which often contains sensitive information or credentials. When the user runs mvn verify again without a mvn clean, this file becomes part of the final artifact. If a developer were to publish this into Maven Central or any other remote repository, whether as a release or a snapshot, their credentials would be published without them knowing.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
