How to Fix CVE-2026-9806

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-2026-9806, 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-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. 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

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the notification panel of CTI Transmute in versions prior to the patched release. Notification messages containing user-controlled convert names were rendered in the notification bell dropdown using innerHTML without adequate sanitization. An attacker able to create or influence a convert name that is included in a notification could inject arbitrary JavaScript, which would execute in the browser of an authenticated user when they opened the notification panel. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to perform actions in the victim's session or access information available to the application in the browser context. The issue was remediated by constructing notification elements through DOM methods and assigning notification message content via textContent instead of innerHTML. This vulnerability was only present on a development branch.
