Release Note for Neo4j 5.26.24 (31 March 2026)

Server

  • Fixed a bug where the last group in an IPv6 address was misinterpreted as a port in the server.default_advertised_address setting.
  • Fixed an issue where large CSV from cloud storage stores could close the underlying SDK client prematurely.
 

Security

  • Upgraded Apache Shiro to 2.1.0 to mitigate CVE-2026-23901 and CVE-2026-23903
    • Apache Shiro versions 1.x and 2.x before 2.0.7 have a timing discrepancy vulnerability allowing brute-force attacks to distinguish between non-existent users and incorrect passwords.
    • Apache Shiro 2.1.0 or later is required to address an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting static files on case-insensitive filesystems.
  • Upgraded Eclipse Jetty to 12.0.33 to resolve CVE-2026-1605
    • Earlier Eclipse Jetty versions have a vulnerability in GzipHandler. This causes a memory leak when a compressed HTTP request is processed without a compressed response.
  • Upgraded Jackson to 2.21.1 to resolve GHSA-72hv-8253-57qq
    • Jackson-core’s async JSON parser in earlier versions bypasses the maxNumberLength constraint, allowing attackers to cause Denial of Service (DoS) attacks through excessive memory allocation.
