NewCVE-2026-41841 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.springframework:spring-webmvc to version 6.0.0, 6.2.19, 7.0.8 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 Direct Request ('Forced Browsing') via shared caching of static resource resolutions across resource handlers. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to protected resources when a shared cache stores a resource resolution result from a publicly accessible handler and subsequently reuses it for a protected handler serving a resource with the same name. This can cause resources that should require authentication to be served without proper access control checks.
Note: This is only exploitable if the application uses Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux, configures multiple resource handlers with different resource locations, protects at least one handler with authentication, and uses a shared cache for resource resolution.
