Published Nov 10, 2026 CVSS n/a EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
When Hessian remoting is configured with BASIC authentication, the authentication check is not applied to Hessian endpoints of applications deployed under a non-root context path. A remote unauthenticated attacker can invoke the exposed EJB methods without credentials. Users are recommended to block network access to Hessian endpoints from untrusted clients, or to migrate to another remoting protocol.
