How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 spring-security-core.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream spring-security-core package and not the spring-security-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The fix applied in CVE-2025-22228 inadvertently broke the timing attack mitigation implemented in DaoAuthenticationProvider. This can allow attackers to infer valid usernames or other authentication behavior via response-time differences under certain configurations.
