CVE-2026-40994: Broadcom Spring Web Services

High severity, CVSS 8.2. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Wss4jSecurityInterceptor initialized its BSP (WS-I Basic Security Profile) compliance flag so that inbound validation disabled WSS4J BSP enforcement on RequestData. Services that validate WS-Security on the network could therefore accept messages that violate BSP rules, weakening protocol-level checks. Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.

Affected products

• Broadcom Spring Web Services: before 3.1.9 (fixed in 3.1.9); from 4.0.0, before 4.0.19 (fixed in 4.0.19); from 4.1.0, before 4.1.3.1 (fixed in 4.1.3.1); from 5.0.0, before 5.0.1.1 (fixed in 5.0.1.1)
