Spring Framework JMS Jackson message converter deserialization vulnerability

IdentifiersCVE-2026-41855CWE-502· Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVE-2026-41855 is a deserialization-related vulnerability in Spring Framework affecting org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MappingJackson2MessageConverter and org.springframework.jms.support.converter.JacksonJsonMessageConverter. In an untrusted JMS environment, these Jackson-based JMS message converters can permit arbitrary class instantiation during message conversion, enabling gadget class deserialization. This can result in unauthorized actions when attacker-controlled JMS message content is processed by a vulnerable application. Affected Spring Framework versions are 7.0.0 through 7.0.7, 6.2.0 through 6.2.18, 6.1.0 through 6.1.27, and 5.3.0 through 5.3.48.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can allow an unauthenticated attacker able to supply crafted messages in an untrusted JMS environment to trigger arbitrary class instantiation through gadget deserialization. Depending on the available gadget chain and application context, this may lead to unauthorized actions and severe impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Do not use org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MappingJackson2MessageConverter or org.springframework.jms.support.converter.JacksonJsonMessageConverter in untrusted JMS environments until patched versions are deployed. Restrict JMS message sources to trusted producers only and reduce exposure of JMS infrastructure to untrusted senders.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Spring Framework to a fixed version later than the affected ranges: later than 7.0.7, 6.2.18, 6.1.27, and 5.3.48, as applicable to the deployed branch. Review applications using org.springframework.jms.support.converter.MappingJackson2MessageConverter or org.springframework.jms.support.converter.JacksonJsonMessageConverter and update them to patched Spring Framework releases.
