Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Network-reachable via HTTP, low complexity once a vulnerable controller is found, requires authenticated session (PR:L), confidentiality-only impact consistent with read-only path traversal.
Primary rating from Vendor (vmware).

4DescriptionCVE.org
Applications using Spring Framework's FreeMarker integration may be vulnerable to a path traversal attack when a controller returns a view name derived from untrusted input and FreeMarker is configured to resolve templates through SpringTemplateLoader. 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
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Spring Framework's FreeMarker integration allows authenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server's template path when a controller passes user-controlled input directly as a view name. Affected versions span every maintained Spring Framework branch from 5.2.x through 7.0.8, making the exposure broad in the Java ecosystem. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the application uses Spring Framework's FreeMarker view integration with SpringTemplateLoader as the template resolver; (2) a Spring MVC controller returns a view name that is wholly or partially derived from attacker-controlled input (request parameter, path variable, header, or similar); and (3) the attacker holds a valid authenticated session (PR:L per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects a moderate, narrowly bounded risk: network-reachable but requiring prior authentication (PR:L), with only partial confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability consequences. … 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 | Upgrade to a fixed Spring Framework release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
