CVE-2026-41856: VMware Spring For Graphql

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Affected versions: Spring for GraphQL 2.0.0 through 2.0.3; 1.4.0 through 1.4.5; 1.3.0 through 1.3.8; 1.0.0 through 1.0.6.

• VMware Spring For Graphql: from 1.0.0, before 1.0.7 (fixed in 1.0.7); from 1.3.0, before 1.3.9 (fixed in 1.3.9); from 1.4.0, before 1.4.5.1 (fixed in 1.4.5.1); from 2.0.0, before 2.0.3.1 (fixed in 2.0.3.1)
