DescriptionCVE.org

Authentication bypass by primary weakness vulnerability in Spring Security Spring Authorization Server.

This issue affects Spring Authorization Server: from 7.0.0 through 7.0.4, from 1.5.0 through 1.5.6, from 1.4.0 through 1.4.9, from 1.3.0 through 1.3.10.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in VMware/Spring's Spring Authorization Server (versions 7.0.0-7.0.4, 1.5.0-1.5.6, 1.4.0-1.4.9, and 1.3.0-1.3.10) allows a low-privileged authenticated actor to circumvent authentication controls and access protected resources across a security boundary. The CVSS 9.6 (Critical) rating reflects a scope change with high confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability effect. …

Impact
Access protected resources and tokens

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the affected component to be Spring Authorization Server running one of the listed versions (7.0.0-7.0.4, 1.5.0-1.5.6, 1.4.0-1.4.9, or 1.3.0-1.3.10) and reachable over the network (AV:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals largely align toward genuine priority: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack needing only low privileges and no user interaction, with a scope change that lets impact cross from the authorization server into the protected systems it fronts. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who already holds a low-privilege credential or registered client on the affected Spring Authorization Server sends crafted requests to the authentication/authorization flow to bypass the intended authentication check. Leveraging the scope change, they obtain access to protected resources or tokens they should not be entitled to, compromising confidentiality and integrity of downstream resource servers. …
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade Spring Authorization Server to the fixed release for your train as published at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-22752 - the fixes follow the affected ranges (i.e., the next patch release above 7.0.4, 1.5.6, 1.4.9, and 1.3.10), but exact fixed version numbers are not included in the provided input and should be read directly from that advisory rather than assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running affected Spring Authorization Server versions (7.0.0-7.0.4, 1.5.0-1.5.6, 1.4.0-1.4.9, and 1.3.0-1.3.10) in production and pre-production environments. …
