CVE-2026-116479 — a2aproject a2a-java JSON-RPC Error getMessage information exposure
A flaw has been found in a2aproject a2a-java up to 1.2.0.Final. This impacts the function getMessage of the component JSON-RPC Error Handler. This manipulation causes information exposure through error message. The attack can be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 1.3.0.Final will fix this issue. Patch name: bbee3369f3825d0fba2373d821f6dc6d4fc82ec0. Upgrading the affected component is advised.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (medium)+3
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (A2aproject A2a-java).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Look for anomalous data read/export volumes and access to sensitive records.
