CVE-2026-108598 floci-io CVE debrief
CVE-2026-108598 is a critical vulnerability in Floci versions 1.1.0 before 2.2.0, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute OS commands via unrestricted Velocity mapping templates in VtlTemplateEngine. This issue arises from the use of $util reflection to reach Runtime or ProcessBuilder, enabling command execution in the Floci JVM. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.3 and is considered critical.

Who should care
Defenders responsible for Floci instances, especially those with unauthenticated access, should assess exposure and prioritize remediation. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams who need to verify the current Floci version, restrict access to VtlTemplateEngine, and plan for upgrades or mitigations.
Why it matters
CVE-2026-108598 is a critical vulnerability in Floci's VtlTemplateEngine that allows unauthenticated command execution. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and remediating vulnerable instances to prevent potential lateral movement and command execution in the Floci JVM.
- Unauthenticated command execution in Floci JVM
- Potential for lateral movement within the network
- Need for verification of current Floci version and exposure
- Prioritization of remediation efforts
Technical summary
The vulnerability in Floci's VtlTemplateEngine allows unauthenticated attackers to execute OS commands by creating a REST API with a MOCK integration that uses $util reflection to reach Runtime or ProcessBuilder. This enables command execution in the Floci JVM. The issue arises from the use of $util reflection to reach Runtime or ProcessBuilder, enabling command execution in the Floci JVM. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and remediating vulnerable Floci instances, especially in environments where unauthenticated access is possible.
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and remediating vulnerable Floci instances, especially in environments where unauthenticated access is possible.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify Floci version and assess exposure
- Restrict access to VtlTemplateEngine
- Upgrade to Floci version 2.2.0 or later
- Monitor for suspicious activity
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
