Italy CSIRT Advisories: Spring Security Vulnerabilities Fixed, 1 Critical
Summary
CSIRT-ITA published alert AL02/260424/CSIRT-ITA on April 24, 2026, disclosing 8 vulnerabilities in Spring, the open-source Java framework used in enterprise applications. Affected versions span Spring Boot 2.7.x through 4.0.x. Three CVEs are highlighted: CVE-2026-40976 (critical), CVE-2026-40972 (high), and CVE-2026-40973 (high). System impact rating is assessed as High (65.51). Mitigation requires updating vulnerable installations per the vendor security bulletins linked in the advisory.
Organizations running Spring Boot in enterprise Java environments should inventory their deployments against the affected version ranges and prioritize patching for the critical CVE-2026-40976. Given the system impact rating of 65.51 and the inclusion of authentication bypass and arbitrary code execution among the vulnerability types, unpatched internet-facing Spring applications represent a high-priority remediation target.
