CVE-2026-41856 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.springframework.graphql:spring-graphql to version 1.4.6, 2.0.4 or higher.
Overview
org.springframework.graphql:spring-graphql is a GraphQL Support for Spring Applications
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via annotation resolution for @Controller data fetchers in Spring GraphQL. An attacker can bypass authorization checks when security annotations defined within a controller type hierarchy are not correctly resolved at runtime. As a result, methods that are expected to be protected by Spring Security method-level authorization may be invoked without the intended access controls.
Note: This is only exploitable if the application uses Spring Security with @EnableMethodSecurity, implements GraphQL @Controller classes within type hierarchies, and relies on security annotations for authorization decisions.
