Threats affecting pkg:maven/org.eclipse.glassfish/glassfish

CVE-2026-12605 is a critical vulnerability in Eclipse GlassFish versions 8.0.0 before 8.0.4. It involves a combination of CSRF and SSRF vulnerabilities in the DownloadServlet ContentSources that can leak the admin gfresttoken to an attacker-controlled host if the victim is authenticated in the Admin Console. This leakage allows an unauthenticated attacker to fully take over the Eclipse GlassFish domain until the token expires.

Eclipse Grizzly in versions before 5.0.2, cannot properly parse the trailer section in malformed trailer header's line, which can be leveraged to perform HTTP request smuggling. Grizzly 5.0.1 supports system properties that enable the behavior that fixes the vulnerability - set org.glassfish.grizzly.http.STRICT_HEADER_NAME_VALIDATION_RFC_9110 and org.glassfish.grizzly.http.STRICT_HEADER_VALUE_VALIDATION_RFC_9110 system properties to "true".

An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in GlassFish's Administration Console. A user with access to the panel can send crafted requests that allow the execution of arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the application service user. This issue affects Eclipse GlassFish: from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1, fixed in 8.0.2; 7.1.0, fixed in 7.1.1; from 7.0.0 to 7.0.25, fixed in 7.0.26. Impact on versions from 5.1.0 to 6.2.5 is unknown.

A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in the server-side template rendering mechanism used by the Glassfish gadget handler. The application processes .xml files and evaluates user-supplied values within a context where Expression Language (EL) “expressions” are processed without proper sanitization or escaping. By injecting expressions such as #{7*7}, the server returns 49, confirming server-side EL evaluation. This issue allows a remote attacker to fully compromise the underlying host, enabling capabilities as reading/modifying data, executing arbitrary commands, persistence, and lateral movement. This issue affects Eclipse GlassFish: from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1, fixed in 8.0.2; 7.1.0, fixed in 7.1.1; from 7.0.0 to 7.0.25, fixed in 7.0.26. Impact on versions from 5.1.0 to 6.2.5 is unknown.

In Eclipse GlassFish versions before 8.0.3 it is possible to perform Login Brute Force attacks as there is no limitation in the number of failed login attempts. GlassFish 8.0.3 adds automatic attack protection documented in https://glassfish.org/docs/latest/security-guide.html#brute-force-attack-protection .
