What is CVE-2026-41000?
CVE-2026-41000 is a low-severity vulnerability in Spring Web Services, published on 11 Jun 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
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.
