Library Issues

Because we have relatively infrequent releases and a strict versioning policy, it is not rare that we ship third-party libraries that may contain unfixed vulnerabilities when those issues are believed to be non-impactful. This is often due to timing; for example, we may be unable to adequately test a new version of something in time to include it in a release and may determine that the less risky course is to stay on an older version. Alternatively, it may be impossible to update something because of the API changes required, since many projects do not adhere to semantic (or any) versioning.

...

  • UserAgentUtils (any) (CVE-2021-4277)

    • This CVE is worded worse than most (and most are terrible) but it does not obviously seem to even be related to this library. The bigger issue is the library is EOL, so we will be deprecating the functionality and moving off it in V5, while deprecating the usage in V4. The only usage known is not within the code base proper but within the logout views, so we are reviewing possible impact.

  • Guava (any) (CVE-2020-8908)

    • We don't use the affected, deprecated function, and there is no fix for the issue.

  • Spring (5.3.25) (CVE-2023-20860, CVE-2023-20861, CVE-2023-20863, CVE-2024-22243)

    • We are not impacted by these issues, but will update Spring if another patch becomes necessary and there is time to update it.

  • logback < 1.3.12 (CVE-2023-6378)

    • The issue impacts an unusual feature of logback allowing remote collection of log events and the bug exists in the “receiver” component. Thus, the IdP’s use of logback would not involve this feature. We will patch in the event of a subsequent release.

  • Bouncy Castle < 1.73 (CVE-2023-33202)

    • The issue is a denial of service consideration when parsing untrusted PEM files. While there may be some unforeseen vectors to exploit that, it’s not something the software generally does so that plus the actual impact makes it very low priority for us. Bouncy Castle is problematic to update because it does not adhere to semantic versioning, so it is unlikely we can remediate this in the V4 branch (it was updated for V5 of course).
