How to Fix CVE-2026-2586

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Console common dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.glassfish.main.admingui:console-common fixed: 8.0.2 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.main.admingui</groupId>
    <artifactId>console-common</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.2</version>
</dependency>
org.glassfish.jsftemplating:jsftemplating fixed: 4.2.0 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jsftemplating</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsftemplating</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.0</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.glassfish.main.admingui

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-2586, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.glassfish.main.admingui

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Console common in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 8.0.2), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.glassfish.main.admingui command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. In Console common, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

An authenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in GlassFish's Administration Console. A user with access to the panel can send crafted requests that allow the execution of arbitrary operating system commands with the privileges of the application service user.
