CVE-2026-111259 PUBLISHED

Apache TomEE: Predictable HTTP session identifiers in embedded server

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

The embedded server generates HTTP session identifiers with a non-cryptographic random number generator by default. A remote attacker who observes a session identifier can predict the identifiers issued to other users and hijack their sessions, if the application relies on HTTP sessions for authentication. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
