Description
CVE-2026-90908 is a critical vulnerability in the GenericAdminAuthenticator component of Azul Payara Server and Azul Payara Micro. It allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass JMX/RMI administrative access restrictions by spoofing the client host address. Exploitation can lead to administrative access to the MBean server and remote code execution. Azul Payara Micro is affected only if its JMX connector is enabled. Fixed versions are available.
