CVE-2026-44845
CVE-2026-44845 — JumpServer: Remote Command Execution (RCE) via Jinja Template Injection in Applet Host Deployment
JumpServer is an open source bastion host and an operation and maintenance security audit system. Prior to 4.10.17, an authenticated administrator with Applet Host management and deployment permissions can inject Jinja2 expressions into the IP/Host field or Core Service Address field, causing Ansible to evaluate ansible_host inventory data or playbook variables during Applet Host deployment and execute arbitrary commands on the JumpServer control node. This issue is fixed in version 4.10.17.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade jumpserver to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

What this weakness leads to
MITRE's own consequences and mitigations for the weakness class — the authority's wording, not guidance derived from the CVSS vector.
CWE-1336 · Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine
- Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands::
Mitigation: Choose a template engine that offers a sandbox or restricted mode, or at least limits the power of any available expressions, function calls, or commands.

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-44845 is JumpServer: Remote Command Execution (RCE) via Jinja Template Injection in Applet Host Deployment, a medium vulnerability affecting jumpserver from jumpserver. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Active exploitation is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-44845. Public exploit evidence is: A public PoC is not confirmed from current sources for CVE-2026-44845. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 6.7 describes technical severity, while EPSS 0% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
