Apache TomEE: Authorization bypass in MicroProfile JWT role checks for JAX-RS resources

Assigner: apache
Reserved: 15.10.2026 Published: 10.11.2026 Updated: 10.11.2026

When MicroProfile JWT role-based access control is used, the access constraints of JAX-RS resources are not always enforced as declared: resources that declare an empty set of allowed roles are accessible to every caller, resource classes that inherit the same method from a common superclass share their constraints, and class-level constraints declared on a superclass are ignored. A remote attacker can invoke resources that should be denied to them, in some configurations without authentication. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
