Full release notes for ESAPI release 2.3.0.0 are located at: https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy/blob/develop/documentation/esapi4java-core-2.3.0.0-release-notes.txt

IMPORTANT Note: Because this release of ESAPI fixes several vulnerabilities, it is extremely important that you actually read the FULL release notes and the referenced GitHub Security Advisories. Failure to do so likely will cause previous ESAPI users to miss some critical remediation steps as remediation for CVE-2022-24891 involves more than simply upgrading your dependency to ESAPI 2.3.0.0.

Remediates

• CVE-2022-23457 - See details in this GitHub Security Advisory
• CVE-2022-24891 - See details in this GitHub Security Advisory
• Several vulnerabilities via update from AntiSamy 1.6.3 (in ESAPI 2.2.3.1) to AntiSamy 1.6.7 in this release. See the AntiSamy release notes for further details of the CVEs that were addressed. (Note that there was one CVE from AntiSamy that didn't affect ESAPI, but it was a moot point because CVE-2022-23891 issue in ESAPI's antisamy-esapi.xml file.)

Finally, to fully remediate CVE-2022-23891, note that the file "esapi-2.3.0.0-configuration.jar" (see below) contains the default ESAPI configuration files under 'configuration/' (ESAPI.properties, validation.properties, etc.) and the file "esapi-2.3.0.0-configuration.jar.asc" is a GPG signature of that jar file made by 'Kevin W. Wall (GitHub signing key) kevin.w.wall@gmail.com'. You NEED this jar (or a manual change) to get the important update to the antisamy-esapi.xml file.
