DescriptionNVD

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

AnalysisAI

Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) in Spring Security's built-in OAuth2 Authorization Server consent page allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser by delivering a crafted authorization request URL. Affected versions include Spring Security 7.1.0 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.6; the consent page reflects user-controlled values (such as client name or scope parameters) directly into the HTML response without encoding. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target deployment uses Spring Security's default built-in consent page for the OAuth2 Authorization Server flow - organizations that have implemented a custom consent page controller with correct output encoding are not vulnerable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N) is justified by the OAuth2-specific threat model: a successful XSS on a consent page can harvest OAuth2 authorization codes, PKCE verifiers, CSRF state tokens, or browser session cookies, any of which can enable account takeover or downstream API access under the victim's identity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary remediation is to upgrade to a patched Spring Security release; the vendor advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-47877 should be consulted for the exact fixed versions, as no specific patch version number was included in the available intelligence data - patch availability is confirmed per vendor advisory but the precise fix version is not independently verified from the provided input. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all applications using Spring Security 7.0.0-7.0.6 or 7.1.0 and take affected OAuth2 authorization servers offline or restrict access to trusted networks pending remediation. …
