Spring Framework 6.2.x < 6.2.18.1 / 7.0.x < 7.0.7.1 SSRF

medium Nessus Plugin ID 320775

Synopsis

The Spring Framework install on the remote host is affected by a server-side request forgery vulnerability.

Description

The version of Spring Framework installed on the remote host is 6.2.x prior to 6.2.18.1, or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.7.1.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

- Due to incorrect host parsing, applications that rely on UriComponentsBuilder to parse and validate an externally provided URL string may be exposed to a server-side request forgery (SSRF) attack. (CVE-2026-41854)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Spring Framework version 6.2.18.1 or 7.0.7.1 or later.
