CVE-2026-118489

CachingWebClient shares user-specific HTTP responses across users via the shared cache tier

7.5 High

In Eclipse Vert.x versions [4.0.0,4.5.35] or [5.0.0,5.2.2], when one CachingWebClient is shared across users — the documented pattern of a per-user WebClientSession over a shared caching client — a response that is specific to one user but is cacheable and not marked private/no-store is stored in the client-level shared cache tier and served to other users requesting the same URL. A later user's session, or an anonymous caller through the same client, can receive an earlier user's response. Depending on the response this discloses authenticated content or a session cookie, the latter enabling session fixation or hijacking.
