Re: Security Vulnerabilities with GWT

I know that this conversation is about 2 years old.  We upgraded to GWT 2.10 in hopes that it would resolve the following vulnerabilities with protobuf-java, they are all being reports in the gwt-servlet.jar (version 2.10.0):

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-3171
https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2015-5237

https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-wrvw-hg22-4m67

https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h4h5-3hr4-j3g2

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22569

These are all being reported in our project by the AWS Enhanced Scanning.  It there any way to upgrade Protobuf from 2.5.0 to the latest version of 3.21.8?

Thanks in advance.

Below are the details -

Gwt-dev.jar -

1.1 Vulnerable version of jetty library(current version-- 9.2.14, available version -9.2.27+ )

1.2 Vulnerable version of commons-collections(current version - 3.2.1)

Gwt-servlet.jar -

        1.1 Vulnerable version of Google Protobuf(current version - 2.5.0, available version - 3.4.0)

Given above vulnerabilities -

1. Are those security issues addressed in latest 2.9.0 release?

2. If no, is there a plan to include them in any future release say 3.x?

3. As we know that gwt-dev.jar is used for development purpose & can be flagged as false positive, still are there any attack surfaces exists?
