CVE-2026-22737Network attack vector

File disclosure via unconstrained script view paths

Published Mar 19, 2026 · Updated Mar 19, 2026

Path traversal in Spring Framework script views allows remote attackers to read files outside configured template locations. When a /** mapping renders a view without an explicit view name, framework view resolution fails to confine the resulting script path to configured locations. Exploitation requires a Java scripting engine such as JRuby or Jython, script-template views, and that catch-all mapping; the reported impact is file-content disclosure only.
