## What is CVE-2026-82955?

CVE-2026-82955 is a critical vulnerability in Eclipse aeriOS, published on 2 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the current development version of Eclipse aeriOS, which has not yet had an official release, the KrakenD instance included in the API Gateway component had the disable_jwk_security parameter hard-coded to true, with no option to override it through the Helm chart configuration. This setting disables TLS certificate verification when KrakenD retrieves the JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) used to validate bearer tokens, potentially allowing an attacker with the ability to intercept this communication to provide a malicious JWKS and compromise token validation.

The issue has been addressed by making the parameter configurable through the boolean Helm value krakend.config.disableJwkSecurity and setting its default value to false, ensuring that TLS certificate verification is enabled by default.

Weakness: CWE-347 (Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature), CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-82955 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-82955 is a critical vulnerability in Eclipse aeriOS, published on 2 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-82955 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Eclipse aeriOS. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
