Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
When adding non-visible components to the UI in server side, content is sent to the browser in Vaadin 10.0.0 through 10.0.22, 11.0.0 through 14.10.0, 15.0.0 through 22.0.28, 23.0.0 through 23.3.12, 24.0.0 through 24.0.5 and 24.1.0.alpha1 to 24.1.0.beta1, resulting in potential information disclosure.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-200

The application discloses data — error detail, internal paths, tokens, or other users' records — to someone who shouldn't see it. On its own it can look minor, but it hands attackers the map they need for a larger attack. Remediation is about minimising what's returned and enforcing authorization on every piece of data.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 10.0.23 / 14.10.1 / 23.3.13 or later
Fixed in 10.0.2314.10.123.3.13
Vendor patch github.com →
Recommended fix High confidence

10.0.23 (for 10.x), 14.10.1 (for 14.x), 23.3.13 (for 23.x), 24.0.6 or later (for 24.x)

  1. 1. Identify the Vaadin version currently in use by checking your pom.xml, package.json, or build.gradle for the Vaadin framework dependency version
  2. 2. Determine which major version branch your project uses (10.x, 14.x, 22.x, 23.x, or 24.x)
  3. 3. For Vaadin 10.x: upgrade to version 10.0.23 or later
  4. 4. For Vaadin 14.x: upgrade to version 14.10.1 or later
  5. 5. For Vaadin 22.x: upgrade to version 23.3.13 or later (migrate to the 23.x branch)
  6. 6. For Vaadin 23.x: upgrade to version 23.3.13 or later
  7. 7. For Vaadin 24.x: upgrade to version 24.0.6 or later, or 24.1.0.beta2 or later
  8. 8. Update the version in your dependency management file (pom.xml: <vaadin.version>, package.json, or build.gradle)
Caveat Upgrading across major version branches (e.g., 10.x to 14.x, 22.x to 23.x) may require code changes due to API differences; review Vaadin migration guides
