CVE-2026-41710: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Spring Spring Retry
CVE-2026-41710 is a resource exhaustion vulnerability in Spring Retry affecting versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.4 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.12. An attacker can send many unique requests that cause failures, filling the application-wide stateful retry cache. Once full, the cache rejects further updates, causing all subsequent stateful retries and circuit breakers to fail, impacting application availability. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.9.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-41710) in Spring Retry arises from allocation of resources without limits or throttling (CWE-770). Attackers can craft numerous unique failing requests that exhaust the stateful retry cache shared across the application. When the cache capacity is reached, it permanently rejects further updates, leading to failure of all later stateful retries and circuit breakers. This results in denial of service conditions affecting application reliability. The affected versions are Spring Retry 1.3.0 through 1.3.4 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.12. No official remediation or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
The impact is denial of service due to exhaustion of the stateful retry cache. This causes all subsequent stateful retries and circuit breakers to fail, potentially disrupting normal application operations. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider limiting the rate of unique failing requests or implementing external throttling to reduce the risk of cache exhaustion. Monitor application behavior for signs of retry cache saturation.
