    CVE ID         : CVE-2022-23457 CVE-2022-24891 CVE-2025-5878
    Debian Bug     : 1010339 1109378

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in libowasp-esapi-java,
    a Java Enterprise Security API.

    CVE-2022-23457:

        ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web
        application security control library. Prior to this update the default
        implementation of `Validator.getValidDirectoryPath(String, String, File,
        boolean)` may incorrectly treat the tested input string as a child of the
        specified parent directory. This potentially could allow control-flow
        bypass checks to be defeated if an attack can specify the entire string
        representing the 'input' path.

    CVE-2022-24891:

        There is a potential for a cross-site scripting vulnerability in ESAPI
        caused by a incorrect regular expression for onsiteURL in the
        **antisamy-esapi.xml** configuration file that can cause javascript: URLs
        to fail to be correctly sanitized.

    CVE-2025-5878:

        This issue affects the interface Encoder.encodeForSQL of the
        SQL Injection Defense. An attack leads to an improper neutralization of
        special elements. We are not aware of any affected reverse-dependencies in
        Debian but if you use ESAPI in a stand-alone project, you should be aware
        that the Encoder.encodeForSQL method has been deprecated and will be
        removed eventually. In addition the DB2Codec, MySQLCodec and OracleCodec
        classes have been deprecated too. We recommend to carefully assess if
        your project might be affected by these classes and methods and if you have
        to implement additional steps to secure your application. The update does
        not automatically protect you from any potential risks.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2.4.0.0-0+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libowasp-esapi-java packages.
