CVE-2026-41841: VMware Spring Framework information disclosure in static resource resolution

CVE-2026-41841 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.9 · Published 2026-06-09

Spring Framework, a widely used tool for building Java-based web applications, is affected by a security flaw in how it handles static files like images and stylesheets. An attacker could potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in the application's temporary memory (cache). This could lead to the exposure of data that was intended to be protected, though the attack is complex to execute.

Technologies: org.springframework:spring-webflux (Maven), org.springframework:spring-webmvc (Maven), VMware Spring Framework. Vendors: Maven, VMware.

How to fix

  • org.springframework:spring-webflux (Maven): upgrade to 7.0.8 or later
    # set org.springframework:spring-webflux to 7.0.8 in your pom.xml or build.gradle

Technical details

Spring Framework is vulnerable to an information disclosure flaw (CWE-524) within its Spring MVC and WebFlux components. The vulnerability occurs during the resolution of static resources when the application uses a cache that may contain sensitive information accessible to unauthorized actors. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to read sensitive data from the cache, although the attack complexity is rated as high. The issue affects multiple major versions of the framework, and users are advised to upgrade to patched versions such as 7.0.8 or 6.2.19 to mitigate the risk.

Affected products

  • VMware Spring Framework 7.0.0 to 7.0.7, 6.2.0 to 6.2.18, 6.1.0 to 6.1.27, 5.3.0 to 5.3.48
