CVE-2026-107912: Quarkus quarkus-vertx-http authorization bypass in management interface

CVE-2026-107912 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.7 · Published 2026-11-05

Quarkus is a Java framework used to build cloud-native applications. A flaw in its management interface allows attackers to bypass security controls and gain unauthorized access to sensitive configuration endpoints and data. An attacker with local access could read or modify critical application settings without proper authorization.

Technologies: Red Hat Quarkus. Vendors: Red Hat.

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper path concatenation when the Quarkus framework applies authorization rules to management endpoints (CWE-862: Missing Authorization). Security policies intended for specific management paths are incorrectly combined with the management root path, causing authorization checks to be applied to the wrong internal paths. An attacker with local access can exploit this to bypass authorization and access management data or perform unauthorized configuration changes.
