VMware Security Advisories (VMSA) via NVD
Broadcom's VMSA portal is a JavaScript app with no stable public feed, so VulniPulse ingests VMware CVEs from NVD filtered to VMware's own CNAs (security@vmware.com and Broadcom's successor CNA) — official, CNA-published data covering ESXi, vCenter Server, NSX, Aria/vRealize, Cloud Foundation, Workstation/Fusion and VMware Tools. Each entry links back to the Broadcom/VMware advisory when NVD carries the reference.

Wss4jSecurityInterceptor initialized its BSP (WS-I Basic Security Profile) compliance flag so that inbound validation disabled WSS4J BSP enforcement on RequestData. Services that validate WS-Security on the network could therefore accept messages that violate BSP rules, weakening protocol-level checks. Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.
High [CVE-2026-40987] malicious or compromised FTP/SFTP/SMB server
A malicious or compromised FTP/SFTP/SMB server can write arbitrary files anywhere on the client filesystem (outside the configured local-directory) with attacker-controlled content. Affected versions: Spring Integration 7.0.0 through 7.0.4; 6.5.0 through 6.5.8; 6.4.0 through 6.4.11; 6.3.0 through 6.3.14; 5.5.0 through 5.5.20.
Medium [CVE-2026-41001] Spring Boot: Spring Boot's ArtemisEmbeddedConfigurationFactory uses a fixed, static path for the embedded Artemis message broker's…
Spring Boot's ArtemisEmbeddedConfigurationFactory uses a fixed, static path for the embedded Artemis message broker's data directory when no explicit path is configured. A local attacker on the same host can pre-create this predictable directory or place a symlink before the application starts.
Medium [CVE-2026-40997] Spring Security: Several Spring WS integration paths with Spring Security could surface detailed account state (for example locked or…
Several Spring WS integration paths with Spring Security could surface detailed account state (for example locked or disabled user semantics) to remote SOAP clients through exception messages or callback outcomes, instead of failing with generic authentication errors. That behavior assists remote attackers in distinguishing valid accounts from invalid ones and inferring lifecycle state.
Medium [CVE-2026-40996] Wss4jSecurityInterceptor defaulted allowRSA15KeyTransportAlgorithm to true, overriding Apache WSS4J's safer default for…
Wss4jSecurityInterceptor defaulted allowRSA15KeyTransportAlgorithm to true, overriding Apache WSS4J's safer default for validation RequestData. Inbound WS-Security decryption could therefore accept RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 (rsa-1_5) encrypted key material unless operators explicitly reconfigured the flag. Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.
Medium [CVE-2026-40995] Spring Security: X509AuthenticationProvider could issue a fully authenticated X509AuthenticationToken when a presented certificate map…
X509AuthenticationProvider could issue a fully authenticated X509AuthenticationToken when a presented certificate mapped to UserDetails, without applying Spring Security's standard account lifecycle checks (disabled, locked, expired, or credentials-expired accounts).
Medium [CVE-2026-40992] Spring Boot: Spring Boot's Mail auto-configuration does not enable hostname verification.
Spring Boot's Mail auto-configuration does not enable hostname verification. Applications that set the relevant JavaMail property, such as spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity=true, are not affected.
Medium [CVE-2026-40986] Spring Web Flow's JavaScript RemotingHandler renders the body of an error response as HTML even
Spring Web Flow's JavaScript RemotingHandler renders the body of an error response as HTML even when the response is not "text/html", which can result in a scripting attack in the user's browser if the error response from the server contains error details with input reflected from an attacker. Affected versions: Spring Web Flow 4.0.0; 3.0.0 through 3.0.1; 2.5.0 through 2.5.1.
Medium [CVE-2026-40985] Applications that configure the WebFlowELExpressionParser are vulnerable to the use of malicious Unified EL expressions.
Applications that configure the WebFlowELExpressionParser are vulnerable to the use of malicious Unified EL expressions. Affected versions: Spring Web Flow 4.0.0; 3.0.0 through 3.0.1; 2.5.0 through 2.5.1.
Low [CVE-2026-41000] Wss4jSecurityInterceptor did not consistently wire Apache WSS4J ReplayCache instances into RequestData for validation-time checks
Wss4jSecurityInterceptor did not consistently wire Apache WSS4J ReplayCache instances into RequestData for validation-time checks. As a result, protections against replay of UsernameToken nonces and creation timestamps, Timestamp elements, and certain SAML one-time-use semantics could be ineffective even when operators configured a replay cache on the interceptor. Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.

JsonPulsarHeaderMapper matched type headers against trusted packages using a prefix check, meaning that trusting any package implicitly trusted all of its subpackages. Additionally, an empty trusted-packages configuration fell back to trusting all packages rather than applying a safe default allow-list. Affected versions: Spring for Apache Pulsar 2.0.0 through 2.0.5; 1.2.0 through 1.2.17; 1.1.0 through 1.1.17.
High [CVE-2026-41731] JsonKafkaHeaderMapper and the deprecated DefaultKafkaHeaderMapper matched type headers against trusted packages using a prefix…
JsonKafkaHeaderMapper and the deprecated DefaultKafkaHeaderMapper matched type headers against trusted packages using a prefix check, meaning that trusting any package implicitly trusted all of its subpackages. Combined with Jackson's default bean deserialization, a producer could supply crafted header values that caused the consumer to deserialize arbitrary JDK types. Affected versions: Spring for Apache Kafka 4.0.0 through 4.0.5; 3.3.0 through 3.3.15; 3.2.0 through 3.2.13; 2.9.0 through 2.9.13; 2.8.0 through 2.8.11.
High [CVE-2026-41729] Spring Data REST is vulnerable to SpEL expression injection through map-typed properties
Spring Data REST is vulnerable to SpEL expression injection through map-typed properties when processing JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) requests. When a persistent entity exposes a Map-typed property, the JSON Pointer path segment used as the map key is embedded directly into a SpEL expression without sanitization or validation. Affected versions: Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.

Spring Data REST's JSON Patch (application/json-patch+json) implementation does not apply the write-access filter to intermediate path segments when resolving a multi-segment JSON Pointer. Affected versions: Spring Data REST 3.7.0 through 3.7.19; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 5.0.0 through 5.0.5.
High [CVE-2026-41717] Spring Data MongoDB contains a SpEL (Spring Expression Language) expression injection vulnerability.
Spring Data MongoDB contains a SpEL (Spring Expression Language) expression injection vulnerability. The issue occurs during parameter binding when a user-defined repository query method is annotated with @Query and utilizes a capture-all placeholder. Affected versions: Spring Data MongoDB 5.0.0 through 5.0.5; 4.5.0 through 4.5.11; 4.4.0 through 4.4.14; 4.3.0 through 4.3.16; 4.2.0 through 4.2.15; 4.1.0 through 4.1.14; 4.0.0 through 4.0.15; 3.4.0 through 3.4.19.

Spring Data's internal property-lookup cache accepts and permanently retains attacker-supplied strings as cache keys, allowing heap exhaustion through repeated requests. Affected versions: Spring Data Commons 2.7.0 through 2.7.19; 3.3.0 through 3.3.16; 3.4.0 through 3.4.14; 3.5.0 through 3.5.11; 4.0.0 through 4.0.5.
High [CVE-2026-41695] Spring Data Commons applications may be vulnerable to denial of service through resource exhaustion
Spring Data Commons applications may be vulnerable to denial of service through resource exhaustion when attacker-controlled property path strings are passed to MappingContext property path resolution. Affected versions: Spring Data Commons 4.0.0 through 4.0.5; 3.5.0 through 3.5.11; 3.4.0 through 3.4.14.
High [CVE-2026-41003] Spring Security: attacker able to influence values in RelyingPartyRegistration may be able to run arbitrary code on HTML forms gene…
An attacker able to influence values in RelyingPartyRegistration may be able to run arbitrary code on HTML forms generated by Spring Security filters. Affected versions: Spring Security 5.7.0 through 5.7.23; 5.8.0 through 5.8.25; 6.3.0 through 6.3.16; 6.4.0 through 6.4.16; 6.5.0 through 6.5.10; 7.0.0 through 7.0.5.
High [CVE-2026-40993] Spring Security: attacker with write permissions to the database table managed by JdbcAssertingPartyMetadataRepository (saml2_asser…
An attacker with write permissions to the database table managed by JdbcAssertingPartyMetadataRepository (saml2_asserting_party_metadata) may be able to store malicious serialized payloads in the columns containing the collection of verification or encryption credentials (verification_credentials and encryption_credentials, respectively). Affected versions: Spring Security 7.0.0 through 7.0.5.
High [CVE-2026-40988] Spring Security: application using spring-security-saml2-service-provider and the REDIRECT binding for SAML 2.0 Login or Logout may…
An application using spring-security-saml2-service-provider and the REDIRECT binding for SAML 2.0 Login or Logout may be vulnerable to a denial of service by way of an unbounded writer that inflates the compressed SAML payload into memory. Affected versions: Spring Security 5.7.0 through 5.7.23; 5.8.0 through 5.8.25; 6.3.0 through 6.3.16; 6.4.0 through 6.4.16; 6.5.0 through 6.5.10; 7.0.0 through 7.0.5.
