CVE-2026-59280Network attack vector

File disclosure via backslash path traversal

Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026

Path traversal in Spring Framework FreeMarker integration allows attackers to read files outside the template directory via crafted view names. SpringTemplateLoader treats backslash sequences in an untrusted controller-supplied view name as path navigation and resolves beyond its configured root. Exposure requires both FreeMarker resolution through SpringTemplateLoader and a controller that derives view names from untrusted input.
