CVE-2024-38828 / GHSA-w3c8-7r8f-9jp8
More information
Details
Spring MVC controller methods with an @RequestBody byte[] method parameter are vulnerable to a DoS attack.

Spring Framework Path Traversal vulnerability
CVE-2024-38819 / GHSA-g5vr-rgqm-vf78
More information
Details
Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.

Path traversal vulnerability in functional web frameworks
CVE-2024-38816 / GHSA-cx7f-g6mp-7hqm
More information
Details
Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.
Specifically, an application is vulnerable when both of the following are true:
However, malicious requests are blocked and rejected when any of the following is true:

Spring Framework MVC Applications Path Traversal Vulnerability
CVE-2025-41242 / GHSA-r936-gwx5-v52f
More information
Details
Spring Framework MVC applications can be vulnerable to a “Path Traversal Vulnerability” when deployed on a non-compliant Servlet container.
An application can be vulnerable when all the following are true:
We have verified that applications deployed on Apache Tomcat or Eclipse Jetty are not vulnerable, as long as default security features are not disabled in the configuration. Because we cannot check exploits against all Servlet containers and configuration variants, we strongly recommend upgrading your application.

Pivotal Spring Framework contains unsafe Java deserialization methods
CVE-2016-1000027 / GHSA-4wrc-f8pq-fpqp
More information
Details
Pivotal Spring Framework before 6.0.0 suffers from a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue if used for Java deserialization of untrusted data. Depending on how the library is implemented within a product, this issue may or not occur, and authentication may be required.
Maintainers recommend investigating alternative components or a potential mitigating control. Version 4.2.6 and 3.2.17 contain enhanced documentation advising users to take precautions against unsafe Java deserialization, version 5.3.0 deprecate the impacted classes and version 6.0.0 removed it entirely.

Spring Framework DataBinder Case Sensitive Match Exception
CVE-2024-38820 / GHSA-4gc7-5j7h-4qph
More information
Details
The fix for CVE-2022-22968 made disallowedFields patterns in DataBinder case insensitive. However, String.toLowerCase() has some Locale dependent exceptions that could potentially result in fields not protected as expected.

Spring Framework DataBinder Case Sensitive Match Exception
CVE-2025-22233 / GHSA-4wp7-92pw-q264
More information
Details
CVE-2024-38820 ensured Locale-independent, lowercase conversion for both the configured disallowedFields patterns and for request parameter names. However, there are still cases where it is possible to bypass the disallowedFields checks.
Affected Spring Products and Versions
Spring Framework:
6.2.0 - 6.2.6
6.1.0 - 6.1.19
6.0.0 - 6.0.27
5.3.0 - 5.3.42
Older, unsupported versions are also affected
Mitigation
Users of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version.
No further mitigation steps are necessary.
Generally, we recommend using a dedicated model object with properties only for data binding, or using constructor binding since constructor arguments explicitly declare what to bind together with turning off setter binding through the declarativeBinding flag. See the Model Design section in the reference documentation.
For setting binding, prefer the use of allowedFields (an explicit list) over disallowedFields.
