SCA: security update for org.jolokia:jolokia-service-jsr160 (GHSA-c9ff-59g8-m36q)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473725

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in Jolokia's JSR-160 proxy functionality where insufficient validation of client-
 controlled JMX service URLs allows a bypass of the denylist introduced to mitigate CVE-2018-1000130. The
 proxy accepts a `target.url` value from a Jolokia POST request and passes it to `JMXServiceURL` and
 `JMXConnectorFactory` for establishing the remote JMX connection. The existing denylist only rejects URLs
 matching `service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/ldap:.*`, which can be bypassed using alternative valid JMX service URL
 forms, including `ldaps://` schemes or LDAP URLs with a non-empty JMX host component. These URLs are
 accepted as valid `JMXServiceURL` objects and can cause the Jolokia agent JVM to perform a JNDI lookup
 against an attacker-controlled LDAP endpoint. This can result in server-side request forgery (SSRF),
 forwarding of supplied JMX credentials to the remote endpoint, and potentially remote code execution
 depending on the classes and configuration available in the target JVM. (CVE-2026-84218)

Solution

Update the org.jolokia:jolokia-service-jsr160 library and its related packages to version 2.6.2 or later.
