Apache Cocoon diagnostic interfaces exposed without login (CVE-2026-108089)
Every Cocoon version lets an unauthenticated user trigger caches and read verbose debug and profile data.
Unauthenticated diagnostic info leak in Apache Cocoon (all versions)
Apache Cocoon exposes diagnostic interfaces to unauthenticated users. Anyone who can reach the instance over the network can trigger the cache and obtain verbose debug logs and profile information. The flaw affects every version. The project is retired and unsupported, so no patched release is planned.
What to do: No fix is planned. Find an alternative to Apache Cocoon, or restrict access to the instance to trusted users.
