CVE-2026-22741 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 6.2.18, 7.0.7 or higher.
Overview
org.springframework:spring-webmvc is a package that provides Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and ready components that can be used to develop flexible and loosely coupled web applications.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling via the static resource resolution and caching mechanism. An attacker can poison the resource cache by sending crafted requests that cause resources to be cached with incorrect encodings when resource chain caching and encoded resource resolution are enabled. This can lead to denial of service by breaking front-end resource loading for subsequent clients.
Note: This is only exploitable if all the following is true:
The application is configuring the resource chain support with caching enabled.
The application adds support for encoded resource resolution.
The resource cache must be empty when the attacker has access to the application.
