CVE-2025-41249

HIGH

Spring Framework 5.3.0-5.3.44, 6.1.0-6.1.22, 6.2.0-6.2.10 - Improper Authorization via Annotation Detection Mechanism

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The Spring Framework annotation detection mechanism may not correctly resolve annotations on methods within type hierarchies with a parameterized super type with unbounded generics. This can be an issue if such annotations are used for authorization decisions. Your application may be affected by this if you are using Spring Security's @EnableMethodSecurity feature. You are not affected by this if you are not using @EnableMethodSecurity or if you do not use security annotations on methods in generic superclasses or generic interfaces. This CVE is published in conjunction with CVE-2025-41248 https://spring.io/security/cve-2025-41248 .
