NewCVE-2025-41249 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.springframework:spring-core to version 6.2.11 or higher.
Overview
org.springframework:spring-core is a core package within the spring-framework that contains multiple classes and utilities.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the AnnotationsScanner and AnnotatedMethod class. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information by exploiting improper resolution of annotations on methods within type hierarchies that use parameterized supertypes with unbounded generics.
Note:
This is only exploitable if security annotations are used on methods in generic superclasses or generic interfaces and the @EnableMethodSecurity feature is enabled.
