CVE-2026-41001: VMware Spring Boot

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Spring Boot's ArtemisEmbeddedConfigurationFactory uses a fixed, static path for the embedded Artemis message broker's data directory when no explicit path is configured. A local attacker on the same host can pre-create this predictable directory or place a symlink before the application starts. Affected versions: Spring Boot 4.0.0 through 4.0.6; 3.5.0 through 3.5.14; 3.4.0 through 3.4.16; 3.3.0 through 3.3.19; 2.7.0 through 2.7.33.

Affected products

• VMware Spring Boot: before 2.7.34 (fixed in 2.7.34); from 3.3.0, before 3.3.20 (fixed in 3.3.20); from 3.4.0, before 3.4.17 (fixed in 3.4.17); from 3.5.0, before 3.5.14.1 (fixed in 3.5.14.1); from 4.0.0, before 4.0.6.1 (fixed in 4.0.6.1)
