NewCVE-2025-41248 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.springframework.security:spring-security-core to version 6.4.10, 6.5.4 or higher.
Overview
org.springframework.security:spring-security-core is a package that provides security services for the Spring IO Platform.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the annotation detection mechanism when resolving annotations on methods within type hierarchies that use a parameterized super type with unbounded generics. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to protected resources by invoking methods that should be secured but are not properly checked due to incorrect annotation resolution.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the application uses the @EnableMethodSecurity feature and applies security annotations on methods in generic superclasses or generic interfaces.
