# OpenEJB: web service caller identity leaks to later requests on same thread

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-111245 (this .md is for agents)

After a successful WS-Security UsernameToken login, OpenEJB's standalone HTTP server keeps the caller's identity attached to the worker thread after the request ends. A later unauthenticated request handled on that same thread can call protected EJB methods as the previously logged-in user.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:OpenEJB affected range not listed fixed no fixed version listed

## How to check

- Check the OpenEJB version in your build files or the server's lib directory (for example `openejb-core` in `pom.xml` or `build.gradle`).
- Confirm whether the standalone OpenEJB HTTP server is serving web services that use WS-Security UsernameToken authentication.

## Fix

- OpenEJB `10.3.0`
- OpenEJB `11.0.0-M2`

## Timeline

- 2026-11-10T16:22:32+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-111245

## From the sources

After a successful WS-Security UsernameToken authentication, the caller identity stays associated with the worker thread once the request completes when web services are served by the standalone OpenEJB HTTP server. A remote unauthenticated attacker whose request is later processed on the same thread can invoke protected EJB methods with the identity of a previously authenticated user. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
