CVE-2026-41852
Description
A flaw was found in Spring Framework. A vulnerability in the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) evaluation logic allows an attacker to invoke arbitrary zero-argument methods, even in restricted contexts. This can lead to the execution of unintended application logic, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
