How to Fix CVE-2026-58165

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

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

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-58165, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

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

Note: The mvn dependency:tree 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-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Software, 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

OpenZiti through 2.0.0, fixed in commit 3027fdf, contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows authenticated non-admin identities with fine-grained enrollment management permissions to create enrollments for any identity, including the default administrator, because the ApplyCreate function in controller/model/enrollment_manager.go verifies only that the target identity exists without performing authorization checks binding the caller to the target identity. Attackers can redeem the resulting one-time token through the unauthenticated client API enrollment endpoint to obtain a client certificate authenticating as the targeted admin identity, yielding full administrative control of the controller and the zero-trust overlay it manages.
