CVE-2024-36404 Information

Description

GeoTools is an open source Java library that provides tools for geospatial data. Prior to versions 31.2 30.4 and 29.6 Remote Code Execution (RCE) is possible if an application uses certain GeoTools functionality to evaluate XPath expressions supplied by user input. Versions 31.2 30.4 and 29.6 contain a fix for this issue. As a workaround GeoTools can operate with reduced functionality by removing the gt-complex jar from one’s application. As an example of the impact application schema datastore would not function without the ability to use XPath expressions to query complex content. Alternatively one may utilize a drop-in replacement GeoTools jar from SourceForge for versions 31.1 30.3 30.2 29.2 28.2 27.5 27.4 26.7 26.4 25.2 and 24.0. These jars are for download only and are not available from maven central intended to quickly provide a fix to affected applications.
