CVE-2026-44964: Software Security Vulnerability Vulnerability
MODERATECVE-2026-44964 is a MODERATE (CVSS 6.5) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-441: Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy')) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product receives a request, message, or directive from an upstream component, but the product does not sufficiently preserve the original source of the request before forwarding the request to an external actor that is outside of the product's control sphere. this causes the product to appear to be the source of the request, leading it to act as a proxy or other intermediary between the upstream component and the external actor.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

Security Impact
CVSS: 6.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
How to Fix CVE-2026-44964
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.
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:treeHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-44964, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:treeAnalyze 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-441: Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy'), where the product receives a request, message, or directive from an upstream component, but the product does not sufficiently preserve the original source of the request before forwarding the request to an external actor that is outside of the product's control sphere. this causes the product to appear to be the source of the request, leading it to act as a proxy or other intermediary between the upstream component and the external actor. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.

"details" : "The OnCallNotificationActivity in the Datadog Android application is declared android:exported=\"true\" in AndroidManifest.xml with no permission guard. Any co-installed application on the same device can launch it with attacker-controlled Intent extras: on_call_page_content (rendered as full-screen lock-screen text), page_id (used to enqueue an on-call Acknowledge worker), and on_call_page_intent, a Parcelable Intent that is passed through to startActivity from inside the Datadog process after a single user tap on the Acknowledge button.\nThe activity enables lock-screen display (setShowWhenLocked) and wakes the device (setTurnScreenOn) on launch. After one user tap, three effects follow: (1) a forged Acknowledge request is sent to the Datadog backend for the attacker-chosen page_id using the victim's authenticated session; (2) the attacker-controlled Intent is launched from the Datadog process via startActivity, providing reach into non-exported components of com.datadog.app (confused-deputy pattern); (3) the keyguard is dismissed and the screen turned on, usable as a social-engineering or annoyance vector. Preconditions: a malicious application co-installed on the victim device and an active Datadog session in the Android app.",
