Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-41249)
CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the annotation detection mechanism may not correctly resolve annotations on methods within type hierarchies with a parameterized super type with unbounded generics. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
2) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-41248)
CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the annotation detection mechanism does not correctly resolve annotations on methods within type hierarchies with a parameterized super type with unbounded generics. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-41242)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
Note, the vulnerability affects installations 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
- the application serves static resources with Spring resource handling
