JDA (Java Discord API) downloads external URLs when updating message components

Published Dec 9, 2025 · Updated Dec 9, 2025 · Assigned by GHSA

Description

### Impact

Anyone using untrusted message components may be affected. On versions >=6.0.0,<6.1.3 of JDA, the requester will attempt to download external media URLs from components if they are used in an update or send request.

If you are used `Message#getComponents` or similar to get a list of components and then send those components with `sendMessageComponents` or other methods, you might unintentionally download media from an external URL in the resolved media of a `Thumbnail`, `FileDisplay`, or `MediaGallery`.

### Patches

This bug has been fixed in 6.1.3, and we recommend updating.

### Workarounds

Avoid sending components from untrusted messages or update to version 6.1.3.
