What this means

Apache TomEE versions 8.0.0-M2 to 10.0.0-M1 and 11.0.0-M1 are affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability via leaked MicroProfile JWT run-as identity.

What to do

Compare your installed product and version with the affected versions above. A matching product name alone does not confirm exposure.

No structured fix or remediation guidance is available here. Check the full source description and vendor’s latest advisory for a patch or workaround; do not assume another version is safe.

Public exploit evidence

No public exploit reference is identified in the imported evidence. This is not a claim that no exploit exists.

Original source description

Read the full publisher description

When MicroProfile JWT authentication is used for servlets that declare a run-as identity, the security state established for a request is not always cleared from the processing thread when the request does not complete normally. A remote attacker holding a valid token can cause later, unrelated requests served by the same thread to invoke enterprise beans with the elevated run-as identity. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
