An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-40999 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 3.1.0 up to 3.1.8; no fix listed\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 3.1.0 up to 3.1.8; no fix listed\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.0.18; no fix listed\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 4.0.0 up to 4.0.18; no fix listed\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 4.1.0; fixed in 4.1.4\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 4.1.0; fixed in 4.1.4\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.0.2\n- org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-core (Maven): affected from 5.0.0; fixed in 5.0.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40999/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40999/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40999","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40999/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40999","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-whpp-xv3h-rwxf","ROOT-APP-MAVEN-CVE-2026-40999"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Spring Web Services","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can force the application to make arbitrary outbound requests via unvalidated WS-Addressing headers, potentially accessing internal resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"ssrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"spring_web_services","vendor":"broadcom"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-918","name":"Server-Side Request Forgery"}],"description":"When WS-Addressing is used with non-anonymous ReplyTo or FaultTo addresses, Spring WS may initiate outbound connections through configured WebServiceMessageSender instances to destinations taken directly from request headers without verifying that those destinations are safe to connect to.\n\nAffected versions:\nSpring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1;
