CVE-2026-111239: Apache TomEE: Code execution by any authenticated user via the SSH administration shell
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 0/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.19% (FIRST EPSS).
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache TomEE 10.0.0-M1.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache TomEE 10.0.0-M1 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
The optional SSH administration service grants full access to the administration shell to every user that authenticates against its configured login domain, without checking for an administrative role. An attacker holding the credentials of any user in that domain, including a low-privileged application user, can execute arbitrary code as the server process. Users are recommended to disable the SSH administration service, or to block network access to it from untrusted clients and restrict its login domain to administrative users.
