Descriptions

In Hibernate Validator 5.2.x before 5.2.5 final, 5.3.x, and 5.4.x, it was found that when the security manager's reflective permissions, which allows it to access the private members of the class, are granted to Hibernate Validator, a potential privilege escalation can occur. By allowing the calling code to access those private members without the permission an attacker may be able to validate an invalid instance and access the private member value via ConstraintViolation#getInvalidValue().

En Hibernate Validator 5.2.x anteriores a 5.2.5 final, 5.3.x y 5.4.x, se ha detectado que cuando los permisos reflectivos del gestor de seguridad, el cual accede a los miembros privados de la clase, se conceden a Hibernate Validator, podría ocurrir un escalado de privilegios. Permitiendo que el código de llamada acceda a esos miembros privados sin ningún permiso, el atacante podría validar una instancia no válida y acceder al valor del miembro privado mediante ConstraintViolation#getInvalidValue().
