Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an Expression Language Statement ('Expression Language Injection')
In spring framework versions prior to 5.2.24 release+,5.3.27+ and 6.0.8+, it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted SpEL expression that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.

Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity
In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.18, 5.2.0 - 5.2.20, and older unsupported versions, the patterns for disallowedFields on a DataBinder are case sensitive which means a field is not effectively protected unless it is listed with both upper and lower case for the first character of the field, including upper and lower case for the first character of all nested fields within the property path.

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Spring Framework
In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.16 and older unsupported versions, it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted SpEL expression that may cause a Denial of Service.

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
In spring framework versions prior to 5.3.20+, 5.2.22+ and old unsupported versions, application with a STOMP over WebSocket endpoint is vulnerable to a denial of service attack by an authenticated user.

Spring Framework annotation detection mechanism may result in improper authorization
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 .

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
In spring framework versions prior to 5.3.20+, 5.2.22+ and old unsupported versions, applications that handle file uploads is vulnerable to DoS attack if they rely on data binding to set a MultipartFile or javax.servlet.Part to a field in a model object.

Spring Framework vulnerable to denial of service via specially crafted SpEL expression
In Spring Framework versions 6.0.0 - 6.0.6, 5.3.0 - 5.3.25, 5.2.0.RELEASE - 5.2.22.RELEASE, and older unsupported versions, it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted SpEL expression that may cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
