SCA: security update for org.springframework:spring-webmvc (GHSA-r936-gwx5-v52f)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 433386

Description

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

 - Spring Framework MVC applications can be vulnerable to a “Path Traversal Vulnerability” when deployed on a
 non-compliant Servlet container. An application can be vulnerable when all the following are true: * the
 application is deployed as a WAR or with an embedded Servlet container * the Servlet container does not
 reject suspicious sequences https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.1/jakarta-servlet-
 spec-6.1.html#uri-path-canonicalization * the application serves static resources
 https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-config/static-resources.html#page-title
 with Spring resource handling We have verified that applications deployed on Apache Tomcat or Eclipse
 Jetty are not vulnerable, as long as default security features are not disabled in the configuration.
 Because we cannot check exploits against all Servlet containers and configuration variants, we strongly
 recommend upgrading your application. (CVE-2025-41242)
