CVE-2025-31119Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via unchecked class loading

Published Apr 3, 2025 · Updated Apr 3, 2025

Unsafe reflection in JHipster generator-jhipster-entity-audit before 5.9.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. In Javers-generated JaversEntityAuditResource.java, entityType and qualifiedName flow into Class.forName without an allowed-class check. Exploitation requires an ADMIN account, access to the audit REST endpoints, and prior placement of a malicious class on the application classpath; loading that class runs its static initializer.
