Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay vulnerability in Spring Spring Security allows Spring Security's DPoPProofJwtDecoderFactory contains a cache-based replay attack vulnerability.

CVE-2026-59309 & CVE-2026-59310: patch-diffing VMware vCenter reveals two pre-auth 9.8 bugs - an auth bypass and a syslog path traversal to RCE
Spring Boot applications with Actuator can be vulnerable to an "Authentication Bypass" vulnerability when an application endpoint that requires authentication is declared under a specific path, already configured for a Health Group additional path. This issue affects Spring Boot: from 4.0 before 4.0.3, from 3.5 before 3.5.11, from 3.4 before 3.4.15. This CVE is similar but not equivalent to CVE-2026-22733, as the conditions for exploit and vulnerable versions are different.

Vulnerability in Spring Spring Security. If an application uses <sec:intercept-url servlet-path="/servlet-path" pattern="/endpoint/"/> to define the servlet path for computing a path matcher, then the servlet path is not included and the related authorization rules are not exercised. This can lead to an authorization bypass.This issue affects Spring Security: from 7.0.0 through 7.0.4.
Vulnerability in Spring Spring Security. If an application is using securityMatchers(String) and a PathPatternRequestMatcher.Builder bean to prepend a servlet path, matching requests to that filter chain may fail and its related security components will not be exercised as intended by the application. This can lead to the authentication, authorization, and other security controls being rendered inactive on intended requests.This issue affects Spring Security: from 7.0.0 through 7.0.4.
Vulnerability in Spring Spring Security. If an application is using the UserDetails#isEnabled, #isAccountNonExpired, or #isAccountNonLocked user attributes, to enable, expire, or lock users, then DaoAuthenticationProvider's timing attack defense can be bypassed for users who are disabled, expired, or locked.This issue affects Spring Security: from 5.7.0 through 5.7.22, from 5.8.0 through 5.8.24, from 6.3.0 through 6.3.15, from 6.5.0 through 6.5.9, from 7.0.0 through 7.0.4.

A WebFlux server application that processes multipart requests creates temp files for parts larger than 10 K. Under some circumstances, temp files may remain not deleted after the request is fully processed. This allows an attacker to consume available disk space.
Older, unsupported versions are also affected.
Spring MVC and WebFlux applications are vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks when resolving static resources.
More precisely, an application can be vulnerable when all the following are true:
the application is using Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux the application is serving static resources from the file system the application is running on a Windows platform
When all the conditions above are met, the attacker can send malicious requests that are slow to resolve and that can keep HTTP connections in use. This can cause a Denial of Service on the application.
Spring MVC and WebFlux applications are vulnerable to cache poisoning when resolving static resources.
More precisely, an application can be vulnerable when all the following are true:
the application is using Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux the application is configuring the resource chain support
