AI Analysis

Impact

Helidon’s security‑providers‑jwt contains a flaw that lets an unauthenticated attacker with HTTP network access read a subset of Helidon‑exposed data. The vulnerability operates without granting credentials and can be exploited by sending a crafted request over the network. If successfully exploited, the attacker can obtain confidential information that should be restricted to authorized users, while integrity and availability are not affected.

Affected Systems

Oracle Corporation’s Helidon product, versions 4.0.0 through 4.5.5 and 27.0.0, is affected. The issue resides in the helidon‑security‑providers‑jwt component and has the potential to impact other Oracle Fusion Middleware products through scope change.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.8, indicating a moderate risk. The EPSS score is not reported, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Attacks are likely to be carried out via HTTP requests that exploit the JWT provider, allowing an attacker to read restricted data without authentication. There are no listed mitigations beyond patching, so the risk remains until a vendor update is applied.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Helidon to a fixed version (4.5.6 or later, or 27.0.1 or later if available).
  • Restrict network access to Helidon services to trusted internal networks or firewall rules to reduce exposure to unauthenticated HTTP traffic.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable or remove the insecure JWT provider or block the affected endpoints with firewall or reverse‑proxy rules.
