HIGHCVSS 7/10EPSS 0.48%

Last modified

CVE-2017-7536 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. In Hibernate Validator 5.2.x before 5.2.5 final, 5.3.x, and 5.4.x, it was found that when the security manager's reflective permissions, which allows it to access the private members of the class, are granted to Hibernate Validator, a potential privilege escalation can occur. By allowing the calling code to access those private members without the permission an attacker may be able to validate an invalid instance and access the private member value via ConstraintViolation#getInvalidValue().. EPSS estimates a 0.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
