For Borealis We are running DV v6.2 in Payara v6.2023.8, wondering if updating to latest version of payara for 6.2 will cause any issue?
Hmm, I'm not sure if we use the thing mentioned in the CVE. This: https://docs.payara.fish/community/docs/Technical%20Documentation/Payara%20Server%20Documentation/General%20Administration/Using%20REST%20Interfaces%20for%20Server%20Administration.html
But as to your question, I'm not sure. It might work.
Here is the related issue/PR. https://github.com/payara/Payara/pull/6889
Honestly, I doubt unless you expose port 4848, this is a high risk as the management REST API is tucked away
On a related note: CVE is by far not anymore what it once has been. The quality of the content has degraded over time and there is a heated discussion around how risks are assigned a score. Personally, I take any CVE with a good grain of salt.
@Bikram in case you want to test drive an upgrade, maybe using a container setup helps. You simply need to build the base image and application images with a newer Payara version by using a Maven property.
Thank you @Philip Durbin ๐ @Oliver Bertuch I ll let our Security manager know, he flagged this issue.
