Vulnerabilities

Use of XsltView in a Spring MVC application can result in SSRF and RCE attack if the application has an "/**" mapping that results in view rendering, and where the view name is not explicitly specified. Spring Framework 7.0.0 - 7.0.8 Spring Framework 6.2.0 - 6.2.19 Spring Framework 6.1.0 - 6.1.28 Spring Framework 6.0.0 - 6.0.30 Spring Framework 5.3.0 - 5.3.49 Spring Framework 5.2.25.RELEASE and earlier

SerializingHttpMessageConverter deserializes the body of incoming HTTP requests with a raw java.io.ObjectInputStream and no class filtering. Any request with Content-Type application/x-java-serialized-object whose body resolves to a Serializable type is read directly via readObject(). If an application using this converter on an inbound HTTP endpoint has any known Java deserialization "gadget" on its classpath, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution. Spring Integration 7.1.0 Spring Integration 7.0.0 - 7.0.5 Spring Integration 6.5.0 - 6.5.10 Spring Integration 6.4.0 - 6.4.12 Spring Integration 5.5.21 and earlier

Spring Cloud Gateway JsonToGrpcGatewayFilterFactory allows arbitrary Spring Resource locations for defining the proto descriptor. Spring Cloud Gateway 5.0.0 - 5.0.2 Spring Cloud Gateway 4.3.0 - 4.3.5 Spring Cloud Gateway 4.0.0 - 4.2.9 Spring Cloud Gateway 3.1.13 and earlier

Spring Security Authorization Server's default consent page renders user-controlled values without HTML entity encoding. Spring Security 7.1.0 Spring Security 7.0.0 - 7.0.6

Spring Data REST does not guard identifier (@Id) and version (@Version) properties against mutation via RFC 6902 JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) requests. Spring Data REST 5.1.0 Spring Data REST 5.0.0 - 5.0.6 Spring Data REST 4.5.0 - 4.5.12 Spring Data REST 4.0.0 - 4.4.15 Spring Data REST 3.7.20 and earlier

An attacker who can publish to a queue consumed by an application that has enabled message decompression can crash the consumer JVM with a single ~1 MB message. Spring AMQP 4.1.0 Spring AMQP 4.0.0 - 4.0.4 Spring AMQP 3.2.0 - 3.2.12 Spring AMQP 2.4.18 and earlier

Analyzing a PDF with a deeply nested or cyclic table of contents can cause a StackOverflowError in the ingestion thread. Spring AI 2.0.0 Spring AI 1.1.0 - 1.1.8 Spring AI 1.0.0 - 1.0.9

An application using Spring Security's WebAuthn support may be vulnerable to user verification bypass when using a distributed HTTP session store. Spring Security 7.1.0 Spring Security 7.0.0 - 7.0.6 Spring Security 6.5.0 - 6.5.11 Spring Security 6.4.0 - 6.4.18

Spring Data JPA's Sort validation can be bypassed when parameters containing crafted payload are accepted from untrusted sources. Spring Data JPA 4.1.0 Spring Data JPA 4.0.0 - 4.0.6 Spring Data JPA 3.5.0 - 3.5.13 Spring Data JPA 3.0.0 - 3.4.15

Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Spring Spring Cloud Config allows Webhook requests to Spring Cloud Config Server's /monitor endpoint are not validated. This issue affects Spring Cloud Config: from 5.0.0 through 5.0.4, from 4.3.0 through 4.3.4, from 4.0.0 through 4.2.8, and through 3.1.14.

In Spring AI's tool calling support, the per-request tool list is advertised to the model as a boundary but is not fully enforced when a tool call is dispatched. Under certain conditions, a tool that was not made available to the current request could be invoked, potentially leading to privilege escalation. Affected versions: Spring AI: 2.0.0 Spring AI: 1.1.0 through 1.1.8 Spring AI: 1.0.0 through 1.0.9

CVE-2026-59310 is a directory traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in the Syslog server component of VMware vCenter Server, rated critical at CVSS 9.8. It can be triggered over the network without authentication or user interaction, allowing a malicious actor with network access to vCenter to achieve arbitrary code execution. An attacker who exploits it gains code execution on the vCenter appliance, and reported campaigns show it has been used to establish persistent remote access and, by a suspected China-nexus actor, to deploy Babuk ransomware. Any organization running an affected version of vCenter Server is exposed, especially where the management interface is reachable from the internet; the available data does not specify affected version ranges. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild: CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-08-18, it was reportedly exploited just five days after disclosure, and EPSS estimates a 45.9% probability of exploitation within 30 days (99th percentile).

Do: Upgrade vCenter Server to the patched release identified in Broadcom's advisory (no specific version ranges are provided in this data) and prioritize any vCenter that is internet-facing, in line with CISA KEV and BOD 26-04 requirements for federal agencies. Until patched, restrict access to the vCenter management interface to trusted networks and verify whether the vCenter Syslog server is enabled. Hunt for compromise indicators, including unexplained remote-access persistence and Babuk ransomware artifacts, given the documented China-nexus exploitation.

VMware vCenter contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the VMware Directory Service. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter may exploit this issue to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the system.
