CVE-2026-67208: Juggle: Command injection

CVE-2026-67208 is rated critical with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8. Per its scoring, it can be exploited over the network, without authentication, without any user interaction. The scored impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is the highest available.

Vulnerability description

Juggle through 1.6.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by connecting to the exposed H2 database web console using default shipped credentials. Attackers can access the unprotected /h2-console endpoint, authenticate with default credentials, and leverage the H2 CREATE ALIAS Runtime.exec() technique to execute arbitrary commands, resulting in root-level code execution when running the stock Docker image.
