CVE-2026-47892: Spring Framework lets WebFlux header check be bypassed

CVE-2026-47892 · published 1 month ago
Summary

Versions of Spring Framework from 5.2.5 through 7.0.8 may allow a specially crafted web request to skip normal header validation in WebFlux applications that use functional endpoints. This could let an attacker make the server treat a request as trusted when it is not, potentially exposing data or actions. Update Spring to the latest release or apply the vendor's recommended patch to close the gap.
