CVE-2026-55153
HighCVSS 7.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk25th percentile — higher than 25% of all known CVEs
Summary
The mchange-commons-java library before version 0.6.0 has a vulnerability in its JNDI ObjectFactory implementation (JavaBeanObjectFactory) that allows constructing objects of arbitrary classes and initializing JavaBean-style properties. For certain classes like JEditorPane, this enables HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs, which can be exploited for JNDI injection and deserialization attacks.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to make unauthorized network requests from a trusted security domain, potentially leading to data leakage, privilege escalation, or further system compromise.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade the mchange-commons-java library to version 0.6.0 or later, which includes a fix that eliminates the unsafe behavior of JavaBeanObjectFactory.
Original NVD description (English source)
mchange-commons-java is a Java library of shared utility classes used by mchange projects like the c3p0 connection pool. Prior to version 0.6.0, its JNDI ObjectFactory implementation (com.mchange.v2.naming.JavaBeanObjectFactory) will construct objects of arbitrary classes and initialize "JavaBean"-style properties, which for certain classes enables JNDI injection and "deserialization gadgets." Such initialization is unsafe for some classes: for example, setting the contentType property of a Swing JEditorPane to text/html and its text property to HTML containing a stylesheet <link> will provoke an HTTP GET on an arbitrary URL, potentially from within a trusted security domain. The problem is aggravated by the library's ReferenceIndirector, through which malicious JNDI Reference objects can be smuggled in for dereferencing wherever an application reads a Java-serialized object. This has been resolved in version 0.6.0.
