Description SMASH SMASH 2024-04-12 13:26:09 UTC

JFreeChart v1.5.4 was discovered to contain a NullPointerException via the component /labels/BubbleXYItemLabelGenerator.java. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple third parties who believe there was not reasonable evidence to determine the existence of a vulnerability. The submission may have been based on a tool that is not sufficiently robust for vulnerability identification.

This is speaking about null pointer exception when null pointer is passed. This is just normal in Java code and not any vulnerability. This might be a bug if the exception is not caught, but hardly any vulnerability.
