How to Fix CVE-2026-22726

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-2026-22726, 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-923: Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints, where the product establishes a communication channel to (or from) an endpoint for privileged or protected operations, but it does not properly ensure that it is communicating with the correct endpoint. 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

Route Services can be leveraged to send app traffic to network destinations outside of an app's configured egress rules. As a result, a malicious developer with access to Cloudfoundry could configure a route-service that would allow it to send requests to HTTP services on internal networks reachable by the Gorouter, which may not have previously had direct access from outside networks, or from the application. Routing release: affected from v0.118.0 through v0.371.0 (inclusive); upgrade to v0.372.0 or greater. CF Deployment: affected from v0.0.2 through v54.14.0 (inclusive); upgrade to v55.0.0 or greater (includes routing_release v0.372.0).
