CVE-2026-46581 Details
Description
In Eclipse Mojarra versions 2.3 and following, URL handing in `DefaultFaceletFactory` does not properly sanitize and/or block remote URLs, allowing an attacker to specify a URL to a remote Facelet which will be included and processed as part of the normal request, with the privileges of the target server. This could allow access to restricted files such as `WEB-INF/web.xml` or `/etc/passwd`.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in Eclipse Mojarra versions 2.3 and later. The issue arises in the DefaultFaceletFactory component, where URL handling does not adequately sanitize or block remote URLs. This flaw allows an attacker to specify a URL pointing to a remote Facelet, which will be processed as part of the normal request with the privileges of the target server. Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to restricted files, such as WEB-INF/web.xml or /etc/passwd.
Users can update to Eclipse Mojarra versions 4.0.22 or 4.1.13, both available on Maven Central.
