Arbitrary class instantiation via unrestricted JMS deserialization
Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in Spring Framework's Jackson JMS converters allows remote attackers to instantiate arbitrary classes through JMS messages. The converters accept message-supplied type metadata without restricting deserialization to approved packages, allowing Jackson to resolve and construct attacker-selected gadget classes. Exploitation requires an untrusted JMS environment and Spring Framework 5.3.0 through 5.3.48, 6.1.0 through 6.1.27, 6.2.0 through 6.2.18, or 7.0.0 through 7.0.7; successful gadget execution permits unauthorized actions with application privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=5.3.0 <5.3.49
- Affected versionversion=6.1.0 <6.1.28
- Affected versionversion=6.2.0 <6.2.19
- Affected versionversion=7.0.0 <7.0.8
