CVE-2024-46076
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 · uneditedRuoYi v4.7.9 and before has a security flaw that allows escaping from comments within the code generation feature, enabling the injection of malicious code.
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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceRuoYi v4.7.9 and earlier contains a code injection vulnerability in its code generation feature. The flaw allows attackers to escape from comment contexts within generated code by injecting malicious code. This could enable remote code execution if the generated code is subsequently executed by the system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed RuoYi versionLocate the version identifier in the RuoYi application - typically found in pom.xml, application.yml/properties, or the system about page. Common locations include the project root pom.xml file or the banner.txt displayed at startup.Affected if The identified version is 4.7.9 or any earlier version (any version <= 4.7.9).
-
Confirm the code generation module is accessibleVerify whether the code generation feature is enabled in the application. Check the application configuration files for the module status or attempt to access the code generation function through the admin interface if available.Affected if The code generation module is installed and accessible in the environment.
-
Determine if generated code is executed by the systemReview how the code generation feature operates in this deployment. Identify whether generated code is automatically compiled, executed, or stored in a location where it could be run by the system or other processes.Affected if Generated code is compiled, executed, or stored in an executable context by the system.
-
Check for custom code generation templatesInspect the code generation templates configured in the system, particularly any templates that place user-supplied input into comment sections within generated code.Affected if The code generation feature allows user input to be placed into code comments in the generated output.
A user is affected if they are running RuoYi version 4.7.9 or earlier AND have the code generation module enabled with generated code being executed or stored in an executable context.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to a patched version of RuoYi. If no patch is available, implement strict input validation and proper escaping of special characters (particularly comment delimiters) before placing user-controlled input into code comments within the code generation module.
