CVE-2024-47197Network attack vector

Credential exposure via packaged user settings

Published Sep 26, 2024 · Updated Mar 17, 2025

Information exposure in Apache Maven Archetype Plugin 3.2.1 allows remote attackers to retrieve published artifacts containing Maven settings. IntegrationTestMojo writes the complete user settings model to target/classes/archetype-it/archetype-settings.xml, placing it in packaged class output on a later build. Exposure requires integration testing, a later mvn verify without mvn clean, and publication of the resulting artifact; disclosed data includes repository credentials stored in settings.xml.
