iText dependencies:

2024

• CVE-2024-47554 - This is a potential CVE (under analysis as of this writing) that affects one of our dependencies, Apache Commons IO. Versions >= 2.0 < 2.14.0. This is fixed with pdfOCR 4.0.0.

• CVE-2024-34447 - This is a potential CVE (under analysis as of this writing) that affects one of our dependencies, BouncyCastle < 1.78. Versions 8.0.4 and above, and version 7.2.7 (SNAPSHOT at the time of this writing) and above, are not affected by this. In case you are using version 7.2.6, and do not wish to wait to update to a SNAPSHOT version, or wait for the release of 7.2.7, then you can add the bouncy castle dependency 1.78 to your project, which will be used instead.

Here’s a simple example on how to do it, if you’re using Maven (where the version needs to be at least 1.78 (1.78.1 was already available at the time of this writing)):

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
  <artifactId>bcpkix-jdk18on</artifactId>
  <version>${bouncycastle.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
  <artifactId>bcprov-jdk18on</artifactId>
  <version>${bouncycastle.version}</version>
</dependency>

• CVE-2024-21634 - This CVE report describes a potential denial-of-service issue existing in ion-java, which is a transitive dependency for our licensing-remote module since aws-java-sdk-cognitoidentity depends upon ion-java. However, we do not consider this to be critical, since the report states “Do not load data which originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with. Only load data you trust” as a workaround. As licensing-remote only works with our AWS infrastructure, it is a trusted source. So, we are not affected. In any case, starting from version 4.1.4 of licensing-remotewe’ve updated aws-java-sdk-kinesis to version 1.12.658 which addresses this issue.

2022

• CVE-2022-45688 - can be reported by OWASP Dependency Checker  for jackson-core-2.13.4.jar  however, we don't have a dependency on the vulnerable library (details)

• CVE-2022-45146 - FIPS-compliant users are unaffected because the FIPS certification is only for Java 7, 8, and 11 (and this module is only used for FIPS compliance)
