# CVE-2026-50632: Apache CXF has JNDI Injection Vulnerability in JMSConfigFactory

**Signal:** Normal patch cycle. No exploitation signal; fix it in your next routine update if you are affected. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.1% , percentile 66: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.1% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 66% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs an account (low (any account)). Exposure depends on who can log in.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms (Maven) >= 4.2.0, < 4.2.2, fixed in 4.2.2 ; org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms (Maven) >= 4.1.0, < 4.1.7, fixed in 4.1.7 ; org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms (Maven) < 3.6.12, fixed in 3.6.12 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

A further incomplete fix for a previous advisory CVE-2026-44417 (Untrusted JMS configuration can lead to RCE) for Apache CXF has been identified, which can allow code execution capabilities, if untrusted users are allowed to configure JMS for Apache CXF. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7 or 3.6.12, which fixes this issue.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms` >= 4.2.0, < 4.2.2 → fixed: 4.2.2
- Maven `org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms` >= 4.1.0, < 4.1.7 → fixed: 4.1.7
- Maven `org.apache.cxf:cxf-rt-transports-jms` < 3.6.12 → fixed: 3.6.12

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Apache Software Foundation Apache CXF: 4.2.0 < 4.2.2, 4.0.0 < 4.1.7, < 3.6.12

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 8.1 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- redhat-SADP CVSS 3.1: 8.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.12% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 66.
