CVE-2026-59280

A flaw was found in Spring Framework. Applications using its FreeMarker integration may be vulnerable to a path traversal attack. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing untrusted input to a controller that returns a view name, allowing unauthorized access to files or directories when FreeMarker is configured to resolve templates through SpringTemplateLoader.

This Moderate path traversal vulnerability impacts Spring Framework applications that use FreeMarker integration. It arises when a controller generates a view name from untrusted input, and FreeMarker is configured with SpringTemplateLoader. This specific configuration is required for exploitation, limiting the attack surface.
