{"id":"GHSA-4wrc-f8pq-fpqp","summary":"Pivotal Spring Framework contains unsafe Java deserialization methods","details":"Pivotal Spring Framework before 6.0.0 suffers from a potential remote code execution (RCE) issue if used for Java deserialization of untrusted data. Depending on how the library is implemented within a product, this issue may or not occur, and authentication may be required.\n\nMaintainers recommend investigating alternative components or a potential mitigating control. Version 4.2.6 and 3.2.17 contain [enhanced documentation](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/5cbe90b2cd91b866a5a9586e460f311860e11cfa) advising users to take precautions against unsafe Java deserialization, version 5.3.0 [deprecate the impacted classes](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/25379) and version 6.0.0 [removed it entirely](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/27422).","aliases":["CVE-2016-1000027"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:19.715346399Z","published":"2022-05-24T17:05:30Z","database_specific":{"severity":"CRITICAL","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2022-11-14T19:52:40Z","nvd_published_at":"2020-01-02T23:15:00Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-502"]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2016-1000027"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/21680"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/24434"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/24434#issuecomment-1231625331"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/24434#issuecomment-579669626"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/24434#issuecomment-582313417"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/24434#issuecomment-744519525"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/2b051b8b321768a4cfef83077db65c6328ffd60f"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/commit/5cbe90b2cd91b866a5a9586e460f311860e11cfa"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.tenable.com/security/research/tra-2016-20"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://support.contrastsecurity.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402400830612-Spring-web-Java-Deserialization-CVE-2016-1000027"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://spring.io/blog/2022/05/11/spring-framework-5-3-20-and-5-2-22-available-now"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230420-0009"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-1000027"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-17143?redirect=false"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2016-1000027"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.springframework:spring-web","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework/spring-web"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.0.0"}]}],"versions":["1.0","1.0-rc1","1.0.1","1.1","1.1-rc1","1.1-rc2","1.1.1","1.1.2","1.1.3","1.1.4","1.1.5","1.2","1.2-rc1","1.2-rc2","1.2.1","1.2.2","1.2.3","1.2.4","1.2.5","1.2.6","1.2.7","1.2.8","1.2.9","2.0","2.0-m1","2.0-m2","2.0-m3","2.0-m4","2.0-m5","2.0-rc1","2.0-rc2","2.0.1","2.0.2","2.0.3","2.0.4","2.0.5","2.0.6","2.0.7","2.0.8","2.5","2.5.1","2.5.2","2.5.3","2.5.4","2.5.5","2.5.6","2.5.6.SEC01","2.5.6.SEC02","2.5.6.SEC03","3.0.0.RELEASE","3.0.1.RELEASE","3.0.2.RELEASE","3.0.3.RELEASE","3.0.4.RELEASE","3.0.5.RELEASE","3.0.6.RELEASE","3.0.7.RELEASE","3.1.0.RELEASE","3.1.1.RELEASE","3.1.2.RELEASE","3.1.3.RELEASE","3.1.4.RELEASE","3.2.0.RELEASE","3.2.1.RELEASE","3.2.10.RELEASE","3.2.11.RELEASE","3.2.12.RELEASE","3.2.13.RELEASE","3.2.14.RELEASE","3.2.15.RELEASE","3.2.16.RELEASE","3.2.17.RELEASE","3.2.18.RELEASE","3.2.2.RELEASE","3.2.3.RELEASE","3.2.4.RELEASE","3.2.5.RELEASE","3.2.6.RELEASE","3.2.7.RELEASE","3.2.8.RELEASE","3.2.9.RELEASE","4.0.0.RELEASE","4.0.1.RELEASE","4.0.2.RELEASE","4.0.3.RELEASE","4.0.4.RELEASE","4.0.5.RELEASE","4.0.6.RELEASE","4.0.7.RELEASE","4.0.8.RELEASE","4.0.9.RELEASE","4.1.0.RELEASE","4.1.1.RELEASE","4.1.2.RELEASE","4.1.3.RELEASE","4.1.4.RELEASE","4.1.5.RELEASE","4.1.6.RELEASE","4.1.7.RELEASE","4.1.8.RELEASE","4.1.9.RELEASE","4.2.0.RELEASE","4.2.1.RELEASE","4.2.2.RELEASE","4.2.3.RELEASE","4.2.4.RELEASE","4.2.5.RELEASE","4.2.6.RELEASE","4.2.7.RELEASE","4.2.8.RELEASE","4.2.9.RELEASE","4.3.0.RELEASE","4.3.1.RELEASE","4.3.10.RELEASE","4.3.11.RELEASE","4.3.12.RELEASE","4.3.13.RELEASE","4.3.14.RELEASE","4.3.15.RELEASE","4.3.16.RELEASE","4.3.17.RELEASE","4.3.18.RELEASE","4.3.19.RELEASE","4.3.2.RELEASE","4.3.20.RELEASE","4.3.21.RELEASE","4.3.22.RELEASE","4.3.23.RELEASE","4.3.24.RELEASE","4.3.25.RELEASE","4.3.26.RELEASE","4.3.27.RELEASE","4.3.28.RELEASE","4.3.29.RELEASE","4.3.3.RELEASE","4.3.30.RELEASE","4.3.4.RELEASE","4.3.5.RELEASE","4.3.6.RELEASE","4.3.7.RELEASE","4.3.8.RELEASE","4.3.9.RELEASE","5.0.0.RELEASE","5.0.1.RELEASE","5.0.10.RELEASE","5.0.11.RELEASE","5.0.12.RELEASE","5.0.13.RELEASE","5.0.14.RELEASE","5.0.15.RELEASE","5.0.16.RELEASE","5.0.17.RELEASE","5.0.18.RELEASE","5.0.19.RELEASE","5.0.2.RELEASE","5.0.20.RELEASE","5.0.3.RELEASE","5.0.4.RELEASE","5.0.5.RELEASE","5.0.6.RELEASE","5.0.7.RELEASE","5.0.8.RELEASE","5.0.9.RELEASE","5.1.0.RELEASE","5.1.1.RELEASE","5.1.10.RELEASE","5.1.11.RELEASE","5.1.12.RELEASE","5.1.13.RELEASE","5.1.14.RELEASE","5.1.15.RELEASE","5.1.16.RELEASE","5.1.17.RELEASE","5.1.18.RELEASE","5.1.19.RELEASE","5.1.2.RELEASE","5.1.20.RELEASE","5.1.3.RELEASE","5.1.4.RELEASE","5.1.5.RELEASE","5.1.6.RELEASE","5.1.7.RELEASE","5.1.8.RELEASE","5.1.9.RELEASE","5.2.0.RELEASE","5.2.1.RELEASE","5.2.10.RELEASE","5.2.11.RELEASE","5.2.12.RELEASE","5.2.13.
