Description
In Eclipse Jersey versions 2.45, 3.0.16, 3.1.9 a race condition can cause ignoring of critical SSL configurations - such as mutual authentication, custom key/trust stores, and other security settings. This issue may result in SSLHandshakeException under normal circumstances, but under certain conditions, it could lead to unauthorized trust in insecure servers (see PoC)

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client to 2.46 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-7p63-w6x9-6gr7 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
