What is GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV?

GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV is a medium-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability in com.tencyle.fixes:org.codehaus.jettison--jettison (maven), affecting versions = 1.1-tencyle-2.1.0. No fixed version is listed yet. A write operation targets a memory location beyond the intended buffer boundary.

How severe is GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV?

GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.

Which versions of com.tencyle.fixes:org.codehaus.jettison--jettison are affected by GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV?

com.tencyle.fixes:org.codehaus.jettison--jettison (maven) versions = 1.1-tencyle-2.1.0 is affected.

Is there a fix for GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV?

No fixed version is listed for GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.

Is GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV exploitable, and should I be worried?

Whether GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

What actually determines whether GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV is exploitable, and how bad it is?

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.

GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV

Summary

Jettison parser crash by stackoverflow

Those using Jettison to parse untrusted XML or JSON data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack.

Impact

A write operation targets a memory location beyond the intended buffer boundary. Typical impact: memory corruption, crash, or arbitrary code execution.

GHSA-XQCQ-J8W9-3PXV has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
