What happened

SzafirHost verifies the signature of the downloaded JAR file using class JarInputStream (reading from the beginning of the file), but loads classes using class JarFile/URLClassLoader (reading the Central Directory from the end). It can lead to remote code execution by allowing an attacker to combine a genuine, signed JAR file with a malicious ZIP file, causing the verification to pass but the malicious class to be loaded.

This issue was fixed in version 1.2.1.

About this data

This record was ingested from a data source. Retrieved: Oct 27, 2026, 01:40 UTC. Ingestion is not an independent editorial investigation.

NVD status: Deferred. Publication in the NVD is not evidence of exploitation.

A CISA KEV listing documents known exploitation, not necessarily a zero-day; absence from the catalog does not prove a vulnerability has never been exploited.

Technology tags indicate possible relevance, not verified exposure. Confirm the affected product, version, and configuration against your own inventory; KEVWire does not scan your systems.

A personal reading checklist on this device, not verified remediation.
