CVE-2026-22750: Vulnerability in VMware Spring Cloud Gateway
CVE-2026-22750 is a high-severity vulnerability in VMware Spring Cloud Gateway version 4. 2. 0 where the configuration property spring. ssl. bundle is silently ignored, causing the default SSL configuration to be used instead. This misconfiguration can lead to a loss of intended security controls related to SSL, potentially allowing an attacker to interfere with the integrity of the system. The 4. 2. x branch is no longer supported in open source, and users are advised to upgrade to newer supported versions such as 5. 0.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in Spring Cloud Gateway 4.2.0 involves the improper handling of the spring.ssl.bundle configuration property. When this property is set, it is silently ignored, and the system defaults to the standard SSL configuration rather than the user-defined bundle. This issue is classified under CWE-15 (Improper Initialization). The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5 (high), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, high integrity impact, and no availability impact. The 4.2.x branch is no longer supported in open source, and users should upgrade to supported versions 5.0.2 or 5.1.1. No vendor advisory or patch links are provided, and remediation level is not specified.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability causes the SSL bundle configuration to be ignored, resulting in the default SSL settings being used. This can lead to a loss of intended security controls and potentially allow attackers to compromise the integrity of communications or configurations relying on the SSL bundle. There is no reported confidentiality or availability impact. No known exploits are currently in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory notes that the 4.2.x branch is no longer under open source support. Users of Spring Cloud Gateway 4.2.0 who are not enterprise customers should upgrade to any 4.2.x release newer than 4.2.0 available on Maven Central or, preferably, to the supported open source releases 5.0.2 or 5.1.1. No official patch or fix is documented for 4.2.0, so upgrading to a supported version is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not yet confirmed for 4.2.0; users should consult the vendor advisory for the latest remediation guidance.
