DescriptionNVD

Spring MVC and WebFlux applications are vulnerable to Path Traversal attacks when resolving static resources.

Affected versions: Spring Framework 7.0.0 through 7.0.7; 6.2.0 through 6.2.18; 6.1.0 through 6.1.27; 5.3.0 through 5.3.48.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Spring Framework's static resource resolution exposes arbitrary server files to unauthenticated remote attackers across both Spring MVC and Spring WebFlux stacks. Four major release lines - 5.3.x, 6.1.x, 6.2.x, and 7.0.x - are affected, making this a broad-surface issue for the Java ecosystem. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify Spring app with static resource endpoint
Delivery
Craft URL-encoded path traversal sequence
Exploit
Submit HTTP request to resource handler
Execution
Bypass path normalization/canonicalization
Persist
Framework resolves out-of-bounds file path
Impact
Arbitrary file contents returned in HTTP response

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target application uses Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux and has static resource resolution enabled - applications that do not serve static resources through Spring's resource handling layer are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 5.9 (Medium) is shaped primarily by the AC:H factor, which tempers what would otherwise be a higher-severity unauthenticated network attack (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker identifies an internet-facing Spring MVC or WebFlux application serving static resources and sends a crafted HTTP GET request with a path traversal sequence - such as a URL-encoded or double-encoded `../` chain - targeting the static resource endpoint. If the application's path normalization is bypassed, the framework resolves and returns the content of a file outside the web root, such as application configuration files or OS-level files like `/etc/passwd`. …
Remediation Consult the VMware Spring security advisory at https://spring.io/security/cve-2026-41843 for confirmed fixed release versions, as the provided input data does not specify exact patched version numbers and none can be independently confirmed here. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
