AI-suggested
A fix is available starting from Apache TomEE version 10.0.0-M1. Users should upgrade to this version or later. Alternatively, users are recommended to block network access to the embedded HTTP server from untrusted clients or migrate to Tomcat-based TomEE distributions to avoid exposure.
Description
Apache TomEE's embedded HTTP server does not clear the security identity between requests, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to have their request processed with the privileges of a previously authenticated user. This affects applications using programmatic or basic authentication with the embedded server. Users are advised to block untrusted network access or migrate to Tomcat-based TomEE distributions.
