No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42537/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42537/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42537","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42537/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42537","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4rwg-mr3v-x763"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"ranger","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Remote Code Execution via JDBC URL Injection in Apache Ranger \u003c= 2.8.0\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 2.9.0, which fixes this issue.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Apache Ranger: Remote Code Execution via JDBC URL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-42537","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IRIS has an Insecure File Upload","id":"CVE-2026-42538"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Apache HTTP Server: mod_xml2enc heap overflow","id":"CVE-2026-42536"},"products":["Apache Ranger"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ranger: OS Command Injection via Username in UnixUserGroupBuilder","id":"CVE-2026-28672","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ranger: SQL Injection vulnerability in lookup functionality","id":"CVE-2026-32227","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ranger: Privilege Escalation via URL Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-40920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ranger: Remote Code Execution via Arbitrary Class Instantiation","id":"CVE-2026-44416","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ranger: Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in GraalScriptEngineCreator","id":"CVE-2026-55799","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ranger: Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in NashornScriptEngineCreator","id":"CVE-2025-59059","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-12","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42537/"}
