A remote attacker can bypass security controls in the `CorsHandler` component by sending a specially crafted request with a null origin header. This bypasses the intended access restrictions, allowing unauthorized requests to reach the backend application. This could lead to a compromise of data integrity by allowing unauthorized actions. ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2026:70230** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat JBoss EAP 8.1 for RHEL 10 · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70230) - **RHSA-2026:70228** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat JBoss EAP 8.1 for RHEL 8 · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70228) - **RHSA-2026:68333** · Red Hat · fixed in: Cryostat 4 on RHEL 9 · released 2026-09-16 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68333) - **RHSA-2026:70229** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat JBoss EAP 8.1 for RHEL 9 · released 2026-09-22 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:70229) - **RHSA-2026:66545** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat AMQ Broker 7.13.6 · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66545) - **RHSA-2026:66488** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat AMQ Broker 7.14.1 · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66488) - **RHSA-2026:48118** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Build of Apache Camel 4.18 for Quarkus 3.33 · released 2026-07-30 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:48118) - **RHSA-2026:69296** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Data Grid 8.6.3 · released 2026-09-21 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69296) - **RHSA-2026:65126** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift AI 2.25 · released 2026-09-08 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:65126) - **RHSA-2026:62260** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.30 · released 2026-09-01 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:62260) - **RHSA-2026:68754** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Dev Spaces 3.30 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68754) - **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: OpenShift Serverless, Red Hat AMQ Clients, Red Hat build of Apache Camel - HawtIO 4, Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4 for Quarkus 3, Red Hat build of Apicurio Registry 3, Red Hat build of Debezium 3, … · no fix planned: Red Hat Single Sign-On 7, Red Hat build of Debezium 3, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7, OpenShift Serverless, … · updated 2026-09-22 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-56746.json) - **RHSA-2026:54622** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4.18.3 for Spring Boot 3.5.16 · released 2026-08-13 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:54622) - **RHSA-2026:47189** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat build of Quarkus 3.27.4.SP3 · released 2026-07-29 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:47189) - **RHSA-2026:47172** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat build of Quarkus 3.33.2.SP3 · released 2026-07-30 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:47172) - **RHSA-2026:54435** · Red Hat · fixed in: Streams for Apache Kafka 3.2.1 · released 2026-08-12 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:54435) **io.netty/netty-codec-http: Netty: Security control bypass allows unauthorized requests via null origin header** — rated Important by Red Hat.

For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68333 Workarounds / mitigations: - If CORS short-circuit functionality is not required, disable the shortCircuit() configuration in the CorsHandler. Alternatively, implement application-level origin validation to reject requests with null Origin headers. A web application firewall (WAF) can also be configured to block requests with null or missing Origin headers. ## Package advisory (CVE-2026-56746) Affected packages: - `io.netty:netty-codec-http >= 4.2.0.Final, < 4.2.16.Final` - `io.netty:netty-codec-http < 4.1.136.Final` Patched in: - `io.netty:netty-codec-http 4.2.16.Final` - `io.netty:netty-codec-http 4.1.136.Final` Source: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6cqp-g7gg-8hr5
