CVE-2021-41303apache software foundationapache shiro+4
EPSS score76.13%
Apache Shiro before 1.8.0, when using Apache Shiro with Spring Boot, a specially crafted HTTP request may cause an authentication bypass. Users should update to Apache Shiro 1.8.0.CVE-2020-11989apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score24.44%
Apache Shiro before 1.5.3, when using Apache Shiro with Spring dynamic controllers, a specially crafted request may cause an authentication bypass.CVE-2022-40664apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score3.59%
Apache Shiro before 1.10.0, Authentication Bypass Vulnerability in Shiro when forwarding or including via RequestDispatcher.CVE-2022-32532apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score25.54%
Apache Shiro before 1.9.1, A RegexRequestMatcher can be misconfigured to be bypassed on some servlet containers. Applications using RegExPatternMatcher with `.` in the regular expression are possibly vulnerable to an authorization bypass.CVE-2026-48589apache software foundationapache shiro+3EPSS score0.45%
Apache Shiro’s Jakarta EE module used the HTTP Referer header in certain cases to issue redirect after a user login.
In affected versions, insufficient validation of this client-controlled value could allow an attacker to influence the redirect target in applications using the Jakarta EE module.
This issue affects Apache Shiro from 2.0-alpha to 2.2.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when using shiro-jakarta-ee integration module.CVE-2026-43828apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score0.33%
Default configurations of Apache Shiro send sensitive cookies in HTTPS session without 'Secure' attribute.
This issue affects Apache Shiro from 1.0 to 2.1.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.1, or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, which fixes the issue.
In the affected versions, Shiro-native session manager, as well as Remember-Me manager sends JSESSIONID and rememberMe cookies without 'secure' attribute by default.CVE-2026-43827apache software foundationapache shiro+17EPSS score0.53%
Default configurations of Apache Shiro have a session fixation vulnerability.
This issue affects Apache Shiro from 1.0 to 2.1.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.1, or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, which fixes the issue.
In the affected versions, when a session already exists, it is not invalidated upon successful login, nor is a new session being generated with a new ID.CVE-2026-56130apache software foundationapache shiro+2EPSS score0.30%
"Remember me" cookie age is not verified on the server. This potentially allows an attacker to intercept a valid cookie and reuse it indefinitely, even after the configured expiration time has passed.
This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions from 1.2.4 through 2.x, and 3.0.0-alpha-1, only when RememberMe functionality is enabled.
Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.CVE-2026-56091apache software foundationapache shiro+2EPSS score0.67%
When using Apache Shiro with the shiro-guice module in a web servlet context, a specially crafted HTTP request may cause an authentication bypass.
This vulnerability is similar to https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2020-1957 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord , except that it affects the `shiro-guice` module instead of the `shiro-spring` module.
This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions through 2.x, and 3.0.0-alpha-1 only when using `shiro-guice` module in a web servlet context.
Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later, which fixes the issue.CVE-2026-58301apache software foundationapache shiro+3EPSS score0.47%
When Apache Shiro is used with the Jakarta EE integration module, a low-privileged user can craft an HTTP request that causes the server to initiate a connection to an attacker-controlled URL and transmit attacker-controlled data. This vulnerability affects Apache Shiro versions 2.x through 3.0.0 only in deployments that use the Jakarta EE integration module.
Mitigation: Upgrade to version 3.0.1 or later, which fixes the issue. +
Alternatively, you can set the `org.apache.shiro.form-resubmit-host` (String) and `org.apache.shiro.form-resubmit-port` (Integer) system properties to restrict the host and port that Shiro will connect to when resubmitting a form.CVE-2026-49268apache software foundationapache shiro+23EPSS score0.76%
A remote attacker can inject LDAP special characters into the Distinguished Name (DN) construction in DefaultLdapRealm class. User-supplied username input is directly concatenated into the LDAP DN template without any escaping of RFC 2253 special characters. This allows an attacker to manipulate the DN structure used for LDAP bind authentication, potentially bypassing authentication or impersonating other users.
This issue affects all Apache Shiro versions through 2.2.0, and 3.0.0-alpha-1 when using DefaultLdapRealm
Upgrade to Apache Shiro 2.2.1 or 3.0.0-alpha-2 or later, which fixes the issue.CVE-2026-23901apache software foundationapache shiro+23EPSS score0.24%
Observable Timing Discrepancy vulnerability in Apache Shiro.
This issue affects Apache Shiro: from 1.*, 2.* before 2.0.7.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.7 or later, which fixes the issue.
Prior to Shiro 2.0.7, code paths for non-existent vs. existing users are different enough,
that a brute-force attack may be able to tell, by timing the requests only, determine if
the request failed because of a non-existent user vs. wrong password.
The most likely attack vector is a local attack only.
Shiro security model https://shiro.apache.org/security-model.html#username_enumeration discusses this as well.
Typically, brute force attack can be mitigated at the infrastructure level.CVE-2026-23903apache software foundationapache shiro+8EPSS score0.40%
Authentication Bypass by Alternate Name vulnerability in Apache Shiro.
This issue affects Apache Shiro: before 2.0.7.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.7, which fixes the issue.
The issue only effects static files. If static files are served from a case-insensitive filesystem,
such as default macOS setup, static files may be accessed by varying the case of the filename in the request.
If only lower-case (common default) filters are present in Shiro, they may be bypassed this way.
Shiro 2.1.0 and later has a new parameters to remediate this issue
shiro.ini: filterChainResolver.caseInsensitive = true
application.properties: shiro.caseInsensitive=true
Shiro 3.0.0 and later makes this the default in shiro.ini-based configurations.
Shiro 3.0.1 and later makes this the default in all configurations, including programmatic and Spring / Spring Boot.CVE-2023-46749apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score1.19%
Apache Shiro before 1.13.0 or 2.0.0-alpha-4, may be susceptible to a path traversal attack that results in an authentication bypass when used together with path rewriting
Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.13.0+ or 2.0.0-alpha-4+, or ensure `blockSemicolon` is enabled (this is the default).CVE-2023-46750apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score1.50%
URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect') vulnerability when "form" authentication is used in Apache Shiro.
Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.13.0+ or 2.0.0-alpha-4+.CVE-2023-34478apache software foundationapache shiro+4EPSS score2.07%
Apache Shiro, before 1.12.0 or 2.0.0-alpha-3, may be susceptible to a path traversal attack that results in an authentication bypass when used together with APIs or other web frameworks that route requests based on non-normalized requests.
Mitigation: Update to Apache Shiro 1.12.0+ or 2.0.0-alpha-3+
