Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for resteasy3.0.

CVE-2026-120971[0]:
| A flaw was found in RESTEasy's default exception mapper. When an
| unhandled exception other than a WebApplicationException is not
| handled by an application exception mapper, RESTEasy returns the
| exception's localized message in the HTTP 500 response body. A
| remote unauthenticated attacker who can trigger such an exception
| may obtain information contained in that message. The behavior was
| reproduced with RESTEasy 7.0.2.Final.
