CVE-2026-86336: Apache TomEE: EJB method authorization is silently skipped on JDK 21+
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: 0.14% (FIRST EPSS).
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache TomEE 10.3.0, 11.0.0-M2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache TomEE 10.3.0, 11.0.0-M2 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
Apache TomEE running on JDK 21 or later skips EJB method authorization checks, allowing callers to invoke EJB methods without the configured access restrictions being enforced. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
