WID-SEC-2026-1869 · first 10.06.2026 · updated 01.09.2026 · CVSS 7,6
What it is about
Spring Security ist ein Framework, das Authentifizierung, Autorisierung und Schutz vor gängigen Angriffen bietet. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in VMware Tanzu Spring Security ausnutzen, um einen Denial of Service zu verursachen, beliebigen Code auszuführen, Benutzer auf beliebige Websites umzuleiten, Informationen offenzulegen und die Identität eines anderen Benutzers anzunehmen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- einen Denial of Service zu verursachen
- beliebigen Code auszuführen
- Benutzer auf beliebige Websites umzuleiten
- Informationen offenzulegen
- die Identität eines anderen Benutzers anzunehmen
