Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-49371?

CVE-2023-49371 affects the following packages: com.ruoyi:ruoyi (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2023-49371?

The records we use list no patched version of com.ruoyi:ruoyi for CVE-2023-49371. Check the maintainer's advisory, and where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range.

How do I detect CVE-2023-49371 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.ruoyi:ruoyi, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2023-49371 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.

Is CVE-2023-49371 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 1 known exploit references for CVE-2023-49371, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources.
