An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-59281 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Spring Framework. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2026-59281/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59281/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-59281","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59281/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-59281","record":{"aliases":["CLEANSTART-2026-HB81544","CLEANSTART-2026-IL27901","CLEANSTART-2026-RS34156","CLEANSTART-2026-SC51338","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-59281","GHSA-549f-4rpc-3rw9","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-59281"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Java web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via field errors in Spring MVC/WebFlux apps when HTML escaping is enabled but specific accessors are used.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"spring_framework","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Spring MVC and WebFlux applications that obtain a data-binding Errors instance with HTML escaping enabled and then render field errors using the no-argument Errors.getFieldErrors() or Errors.getFieldError() accessors are vulnerable to arbitrary HTML/JavaScript code injection, potentially resulting in a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.\nSpring Framework 7.0.0 - 7.0.8\nSpring Framework 6.2.0 - 6.2.19\nSpring Framework 6.1.0 - 6.1.28\nSpring Framework 6.0.0 - 6.0.30\nSpring Framework 5.3.0 - 5.3.49\nSpring Framework 5.2.25.RELEASE and earlier","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Spring Framework Cross-site Scripting via EscapedErrors","id":"CVE-2026-59281","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:spring_framework","products":["vmware:spring_framework"],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Spring Framework Denial of Service via Unbounded List Growth in Data Binding","id":"CVE-2026-59282"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Spring Framework Path Traversal via Backslash in SpringTemplateLoader","id":"CVE-2026-59280"},"products":["Spring Framework"],"published":"2026-08-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Spring Framework Improper Path Limitation in XsltView","id":"CVE-2026-47884","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Spring Framework Server Sent Event stream corruption while rendering fragments","id":"CVE-2026-47890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Spring Framework maxInMemorySize Bypassed in Jaxb2Decoder","id":"CVE-2026-47891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Spring Framework Header Predicate Bypass in WebFlux Functional Endpoints","id":"CVE-2026-47892","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Server Sent Event stream corruption in Spring MVC functional web framework","id":"CVE-2026-59313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Pivotal Spring Framework contains unsafe Java deserialization methods","id":"CVE-2016-1000027","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-02"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Spring Framework Safety Guard Bypass via SpEL Expression Compilation","id":"CVE-2026-59283","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-27"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-28","vendors":["Spring"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript via field errors in Spring MVC/WebFlux apps when HTML escaping is enabled but specific accessors are used.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-59281/"}
