CVE-2026-97867: Apache TomEE: Database credential disclosure via remote JNDI lookup
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: 0.13% (FIRST EPSS).
- Fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache TomEE 10.0.0-M1, 10.3.0, 11.0.0-M2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Apache Software Foundation Apache TomEE 10.0.0-M1, 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
The EJBd remote protocol returns datasource connection details, including database credentials, to remote clients that look up a datasource. A remote client able to reach the EJBd endpoint can obtain the database credentials and connect to the database directly. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
