WID-SEC-2026-1828 · first 09.06.2026 · updated 26.10.2026 · CVSS 8,1
What it is about
Das Spring Framework bietet ein Entwicklungsmodell für Java mit Infrastrukturunterstützung auf Anwendungsebene. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in VMware Tanzu Spring Framework ausnutzen, um seine Privilegien zu erhöhen, beliebigen Code auszuführen, sensible Informationen offenzulegen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren, Cross-Site-Scripting- und Open-Redirect-Angriffe durchzuführen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen.
Under what conditions?
The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- seine Privilegien zu erhöhen
- beliebigen Code auszuführen
- sensible Informationen offenzulegen
- Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
- Daten zu manipulieren
- Cross-Site-Scripting-
- Open-Redirect-Angriffe durchzuführen oder einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand zu verursachen
Am I affected?
