Applications may be vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack if an attacker is able to provide a pattern which is then directly or indirectly supplied to one of the following methods in AntPathMatcher: match(String pattern, String path), matchStart(String pattern, String path), extractUriTemplateVariables(String pattern, String path). Affected versions: Spring Framework 7.0.0 through 7.0.7; 6.2.0 through 6.2.18; 6.1.0 through 6.1.27; 5.3.0 through 5.3.48.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Applications may be vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack if an attacker is
    able to provide a pattern which is then directly or indirectly supplied to one of the following methods in
    AntPathMatcher: match(String pattern, String path), matchStart(String pattern, String path),
    extractUriTemplateVariables(String pattern, String path). Affected versions: Spring Framework 7.0.0
    through 7.0.7; 6.2.0 through 6.2.18; 6.1.0 through 6.1.27; 5.3.0 through 5.3.48. (CVE-2026-41848)

The version of Spring Framework installed on the remote host is 5.3.x prior to 5.3.49, 6.1.x prior to 6.1.28, 6.2.x prior to 6.2.18.1, or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.7.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - IDs for WebSocket sessions in the spring-websocket module are not cryptographically unpredictable, which may be     possible to exploit in combination with inadequate authorization rules. (CVE-2026-41838)

  - Applications may be vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack if an attacker is able to     provide a pattern which is then directly or indirectly supplied to one of the following methods in AntPathMatcher:
    match, matchStart, extractUriTemplateVariables. (CVE-2026-41848)

  - In an untrusted JMS environment, org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MappingJackson2MessageConverter and     org.springframework.jms.support.converter.JacksonJsonMessageConverter allow arbitrary class instantiation, which     can lead to unauthorized actions via gadget class deserialization. (CVE-2026-41855)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Applications may be vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attack if an attacker is     able to provide a pattern which is then directly or indirectly supplied to one of the following methods in     AntPathMatcher: match(String pattern, String path), matchStart(String pattern, String path),     extractUriTemplateVariables(String pattern, String path). Affected versions: Spring Framework 7.0.0     through 7.0.7; 6.2.0 through 6.2.18; 6.1.0 through 6.1.27; 5.3.0 through 5.3.48. (CVE-2026-41848)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
