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
A vulnerability was detected in xuxueli xxl-job up to 3.3.2. This impacts an unknown function of the file source-code/src/main/java/com/xxl/job/admin/controller/JobInfoController.java. The manipulation results in server-side request forgery. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project maintainer closed the issue report with the following statement: "Access token security verification is required." (translated from Chinese)

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 confidence

A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in xxl-job's JobInfoController.java up to version 3.3.2 due to missing or inadequate access token validation. This allows remote attackers to trick the server into making arbitrary HTTP requests to internal or external resources, potentially accessing internal services, cloud metadata endpoints, or internal network infrastructure.

MitigationImplement proper access token security verification on the affected JobInfoController endpoints to ensure all requests are authenticated before processing, following the maintainer's guidance. Restrict outbound network connections from the application server as a defense-in-depth measure.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify xxl-job installation and version
    Locate the xxl-job web application JAR or WAR file, or check the build/deployment artifacts. Examine the manifest file or version file (often in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF or version.properties) to determine the installed version.
    Affected if The installed version is 3.3.2 or any earlier version (e.g., 3.0.0 through 3.3.2).
  2. Locate the JobInfoController component
    Inspect the deployed application WAR/JAR for the class file com.xxl.job.admin.controller.JobInfoController.class or its source code equivalent.
    Affected if JobInfoController.java exists in the deployment and the version is 3.3.2 or earlier.
  3. Verify access token configuration
    Examine the application configuration files (application.properties or application.yml) for the access token settings. Look for properties like xxl.job.accessToken or similar token-related configuration under the xxl-job admin settings.
    Affected if The access token is missing, blank, set to a weak/default value, or not enforced on the JobInfoController endpoints.
  4. Test endpoint accessibility
    Attempt to access the JobInfo REST endpoints (typically /jobinfo or /api/jobinfo paths) without providing valid authentication credentials. Use a tool like curl to send requests to internal endpoints such as http://localhost:8080/ or cloud metadata endpoints like http://169.254.169.254/.
    Affected if The endpoints process requests and return valid responses without requiring proper access token validation.
  5. Check network exposure
    Review firewall rules, networkACLs, or reverse proxy configurations to determine if the xxl-job admin console is exposed to untrusted networks or the public internet.
    Affected if The JobInfoController endpoints are reachable from untrusted networks without authentication barriers.

A user is affected if xxl-job version 3.3.2 or earlier is deployed and the JobInfoController endpoints lack proper access token enforcement, allowing unauthenticated SSRF requests.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Implement proper access token security verification on the affected JobInfoController endpoints to ensure all requests are authenticated before processing, following the maintainer's guidance. Restrict outbound network connections from the application server as a defense-in-depth measure.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

xxl-job version 3.3.3 or later

  1. 1. Backup your current xxl-job installation and database
  2. 2. Identify your current xxl-job version by checking the version in pom.xml or the runtime version display
  3. 3. Upgrade xxl-job to version 3.3.3 or later, as version 3.3.2 and earlier are affected by this SSRF vulnerability
  4. 4. If using a custom build, ensure the fix from the upstream repository is applied: the JobInfoController now properly validates access tokens before processing requests
  5. 5. After upgrade, verify that the /jobinfo or related API endpoints require valid access token authentication
  6. 6. Test that the SSRF vulnerability is no longer exploitable by attempting to make the server request arbitrary URLs without proper authentication
Caveat Review release notes for any API changes between 3.3.2 and the target version; minor version upgrades typically have minimal breaking changes
