CVE-2026-111245: Apache OpenEJB authentication context leakage in HTTP server

CVE-2026-111245 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

Apache OpenEJB's standalone HTTP server fails to clear user authentication context after request completion, allowing a subsequent request processed on the same thread to invoke protected methods with a previously authenticated user's identity. An attacker can exploit this thread reuse to gain unauthorized access to Enterprise Java Beans without providing valid credentials.

Technologies: Apache OpenEJB. Vendors: Apache.

Technical details

When WS-Security UsernameToken authentication succeeds in OpenEJB's HTTP server, the caller identity remains bound to the worker thread after the request completes. A subsequent unauthenticated request routed to the same thread can invoke protected EJB methods using the stale authentication context from the previous request. This is a thread-safety issue in session/identity cleanup that requires no additional authentication from the attacker.

Affected products

Apache OpenEJB versions prior to 10.3.0 and 11.0.0-M2
