Use of insecure directory in Spring Data Geode snapshot import extracts archives into predictable, permissive directories under the system temp location. On shared hosts, a local user with basic privileges can access another user’s extracted snapshot contents, leading to unintended exposure of cache data.
STOMP over WebSocket applications may be vulnerable to a security bypass that allows an attacker to send unauthorized messages.

The following versions of Spring Cloud Gateway Server Webflux may be vulnerable to the ability to expose environment variables and system properties to attackers.
An application should be considered vulnerable when all the following are true:
* The application is using Spring Cloud Gateway Server Webflux (Spring Cloud Gateway Server WebMVC is not vulnerable).
* An admin or untrusted third party using Spring Expression Language (SpEL) to access environment variables or system properties via routes.
* An untrusted third party could create a route that uses SpEL to access environment variables or system properties if: * The Spring Cloud Gateway Server Webflux actuator web endpoint is enabled via management.endpoints.web.exposure.include=gateway and management.endpoint.gateway.enabled=trueor management.endpoint.gateway.access=unrestricte.
* The actuator endpoints are available to attackers.
* The actuator endpoints are unsecured.
VMware vCenter contains an SMTP header injection vulnerability. A malicious actor with non-administrative privileges on vCenter who has permission to create scheduled tasks may be able to manipulate the notification emails sent for scheduled tasks.
VMware Aria Operations contains an information disclosure vulnerability. A malicious actor with non-administrative privileges in Aria Operations may exploit this vulnerability to disclose credentials of other users of Aria Operations.
VMware Aria Operations and VMware Tools contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious local actor with non-administrative privileges having access to a VM with VMware Tools installed and managed by Aria Operations with SDMP enabled may exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root on the same VM.
VMware Tools for Windows contains an improper authorisation vulnerability due to the way it handles user access controls. A malicious actor with non-administrative privileges on a guest VM, who is already authenticated through vCenter or ESX may exploit this issue to access other guest VMs. Successful exploitation requires knowledge of credentials of the targeted VMs and vCenter or ESX.
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 .
The Spring Security 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 when using @PreAuthorize and other method security annotations, resulting in an authorization bypass.
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.

Spring Framework MVC applications can be vulnerable to a “Path Traversal Vulnerability” when deployed on a non-compliant Servlet container.
An application can be vulnerable when all the following are true:
* the application is deployed as a WAR or with an embedded Servlet container
* the Servlet container does not reject suspicious sequences https://jakarta.ee/specifications/servlet/6.1/jakarta-servlet-spec-6.1.html#uri-path-canonicalization
* the application serves static resources https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/reference/web/webmvc/mvc-config/static-resources.html#page-title with Spring resource handling
We have verified that applications deployed on Apache Tomcat or Eclipse Jetty are not vulnerable, as long as default security features are not disabled in the configuration. Because we cannot check exploits against all Servlet containers and configuration variants, we strongly recommend upgrading your application.
VMware vCenter contains a denial-of-service vulnerability. A malicious actor who is authenticated through vCenter and has permission to perform API calls for guest OS customisation may trigger this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition.
Three Bitnami Helm charts mount Kubernetes Secrets under a predictable path (/opt/bitnami/*/secrets) that is located within the web server document root.
In affected versions, this can lead to unauthenticated access to sensitive credentials via HTTP/S. A remote attacker could retrieve these secrets by accessing specific URLs if the application is exposed externally. The issue affects deployments using the default value of usePasswordFiles=true, which mounts secrets as files into the container filesystem.
In some specific scenarios with chained redirects, Reactor Netty HTTP client leaks credentials. In order for this to happen, the HTTP client must have been explicitly configured to follow redirects.
VMware ESXi, Workstation, Fusion, and VMware Tools contains an information disclosure vulnerability due to the usage of an uninitialised memory in vSockets. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may be able to exploit this issue to leak memory from processes communicating with vSockets.
CVE-2025-41238 is a critical heap-overflow vulnerability in the PVSCSI controller of VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion. It allows a local attacker with administrative privileges on a virtual machine to perform an out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to code execution. On ESXi, exploitation is limited to unsupported configurations and contained within the VMX sandbox. On Workstation and Fusion, successful exploitation may result in code execution on the host machine. The vulnerability affects VMware ESXi versions 7.0 and 8.0. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch information is currently available.
CVE-2025-41237 is a critical out-of-bounds write vulnerability in VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion products caused by an integer underflow in the VMCI component. A local attacker with administrative privileges inside a virtual machine can exploit this flaw to execute code as the VMX process on the host. On ESXi, exploitation is limited to the VMX sandbox, while on Workstation and Fusion, it may lead to code execution on the host machine. The vulnerability affects multiple versions including 9.0.0.0, 5.x, and 4.5.x.
CVE-2025-41236 is a critical integer-overflow vulnerability in the VMXNET3 virtual network adapter used by VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion. A local attacker with administrative privileges on a virtual machine using the VMXNET3 adapter could exploit this flaw to execute code on the host system. This vulnerability does not affect other virtual network adapters. The CVSS score is 9.3, indicating a high severity with potential for full host compromise. No official patch or remediation information is currently provided by VMware. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
