SCA: security update for org.glassfish.jsftemplating:jsftemplating, org.glassfish.main.admingui:admingui (GHSA-29wv-cv7p-xjc2)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 442625

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in the server-side template rendering
mechanism used by the Glassfish gadget handler. The application processes .xml files and evaluates user-
supplied values within a context where Expression Language (EL) “expressions” are processed without proper
sanitization or escaping. By injecting expressions such as #{7*7}, the server returns 49, confirming
server-side EL evaluation. This issue allows a remote attacker to fully compromise the underlying host,
enabling capabilities as reading/modifying data, executing arbitrary commands, persistence, and lateral
movement. This issue affects Eclipse GlassFish: from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1, fixed in 8.0.2; 7.1.0, fixed in
7.1.1; from 7.0.0 to 7.0.25, fixed in 7.0.26. Impact on versions from 5.1.0 to 6.2.5 is unknown.
(CVE-2026-2587)

Solution

Update the org.glassfish.jsftemplating:jsftemplating library and its related packages to version 4.2.0 or later.
