Eclipse Milo: Observable Response Discrepancy

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-60007 is a high-severity observable response discrepancy vulnerability in Eclipse Milo from Eclipse Foundation, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.4 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected Eclipse Milo versions: 0.6.0 through 1.1.4. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Next patch cycle

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Update Milo to 1.1.5 or a later version.
  2. Read the advisory on gitlab.eclipse.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

In Eclipse Milo versions 0.6.0 through 1.1.4, username-token processing returns distinguishable errors for invalid RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 padding and other authentication failures, allowing an on-path attacker who captures a victim's `Basic128Rsa15`-encrypted username token to use repeated unauthenticated `ActivateSession` requests as a padding oracle, recover the victim's password, and authenticate with the recovered credentials.

The underlying weakness: Observable Response Discrepancy

The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Compartmentalize the system to have safe areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area. Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
