CVE-2026-3813

6.3 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

This CVE describes an injection vulnerability in opencc JFlow's Calculate function that allows remote attackers to execute malicious code or commands. The vulnerability affects all versions up to commit 5badc00db382d7cb82dad231e6a866b18e0addfe, and organizations using this workflow automation software are at risk.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • opencc JFlow
Versions: All versions up to commit 5badc00db382d7cb82dad231e6a866b18e0addfe
Operating Systems: Any OS running Java
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The product uses rolling releases, so specific version numbers are not disclosed. All deployments using the vulnerable code are affected.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise, data theft, or ransomware deployment.

🟠

Likely Case

Data manipulation, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or disruption of workflow processes.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact with proper input validation and network segmentation in place.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, making internet-facing instances particularly vulnerable.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal systems are still at risk from insider threats or compromised internal devices.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

The exploit is publicly available and the vulnerability is in a core function, making exploitation straightforward.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown - vendor has not responded to disclosure

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

No official patch available. Monitor the project repository for updates and apply when available.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Input Validation Filter

all

Implement strict input validation and sanitization for the Calculate function parameters

Implement input validation in src/main/java/bp/wf/httphandler/WF_CCForm.java

Network Segmentation

linux

Restrict network access to JFlow instances using firewalls or network policies

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [JFlow_port] -s [trusted_ips] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [JFlow_port] -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block injection patterns
  • Disable or restrict access to the vulnerable Calculate function if not essential

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check if your JFlow deployment uses code from commit 5badc00db382d7cb82dad231e6a866b18e0addfe or earlier

Check Version:

git log --oneline | head -20 (to check commit history)

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify that input validation has been implemented in WF_CCForm.java and test with injection payloads

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual parameter values in Calculate function calls
  • Error messages containing injection patterns
  • Unexpected process executions

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from JFlow server
  • Traffic patterns matching known exploit payloads

SIEM Query:

source="jflow.log" AND ("Calculate" AND ("|" OR "$" OR "{" OR "}" OR "runtime"))
