Configuration disclosure and tampering via SVN clone race
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
TOCTOU race in affected Spring Cloud Config releases allows local users to read or modify data through the SVN clone base directory. The server checks spring.cloud.config.server.svn.basedir separately from its later use for an SVN clone, leaving a race window in which the filesystem target can change. Exploitation requires local access, high privileges, high complexity, and a deployment configured to use the SVN environment repository.

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=0 <=3.1.14
- Affected versionversion=4.0.0 <=4.2.8
- Affected versionversion=4.3.0 <=4.3.4
- Affected versionversion=5.0.0 <=5.0.4
