# Apache Derby: embedded network server listens on all interfaces, ignoring bind address

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-97849 (this .md is for agents)

The embedded Derby network service ignores its configured bind address and listens on every network interface. A remote attacker with network access can connect to the database server and read or modify data.

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

## How to check

- Check whether the Derby network server is enabled in the application configuration (look for a running `NetworkServerControl` or the Derby network server process).
- Confirm the Derby version in your dependency tree, for example `mvn dependency:tree | grep derby` or check the Derby jar version in your build.
- Check whether the listening port (default 1527) is reachable from other hosts, for example with `ss -ltn | grep 1527`.

## Fix

- Upgrade Apache Derby to `10.3.0` (or `11.0.0-M2` on the 11.x line).

## From the sources

The embedded Derby network service ignores its configured bind address and listens on all network interfaces. When the service is enabled, a remote attacker with network access can connect to the database server and read or modify data. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.3.0 or 11.0.0-M2, which fix the issue.
