CVE-2025-43712 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
This was deemed not a vulnerability.
Overview
generator-jhipster is a development platform to generate, develop and deploy Spring Boot + Angular / React / Vue Web applications and Spring microservices.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the authorities parameter in the response from the api/account endpoint. An attacker can gain elevated privileges by modifying the value of the authorities parameter for ROLE_USER to ROLE_ADMIN.
Note: This advisory has been revoked because the vendor claims that there is no privilege escalation in the context of the JHipster backend (the report only demonstrates that, after using JHipster to generate an application, one can make a non-functional admin screen visible in the front end of that application).
