Authenticated arbitrary class loading via untrusted type header
Published Aug 26, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Deserialization of untrusted data in Spring Integration allows remote authenticated users to load arbitrary classes through crafted message headers. JsonToObjectTransformer passes the externally supplied json__TypeId__ value to ClassUtils.forName without a type or package allow-list, then binds JSON to the resolved class. Exploitation requires an external producer whose AMQP or Kafka header is mapped into the message, and loading remains limited to classes present on the application classpath.

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 <=5.5.21
- Affected versionversion=6.4.0 <=6.4.12
- Affected versionversion=6.5.0 <=6.5.10
- Affected versionversion=7.0.0 <=7.0.5
