Description

Improper check in CheckboxGroup in com.vaadin:vaadin-checkbox-flow versions 1.2.0 prior to 2.0.0 (Vaadin 12.0.0 prior to 14.0.0), 2.0.0 prior to 3.0.0 (Vaadin 14.0.0 prior to 14.5.0), 3.0.0 through 4.0.1 (Vaadin 15.0.0 through 17.0.11), 14.5.0 through 14.6.7 (Vaadin 14.5.0 through 14.6.7), and 18.0.0 through 20.0.5 (Vaadin 18.0.0 through 20.0.5) allows attackers to modify the value of a disabled Checkbox inside enabled CheckboxGroup component via unspecified vectors.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update com.vaadin:vaadin-bom to 14.6.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-hw7r-qrhp-5pff is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
