{"id":"RHLW-2026-80029b2333a1c4b6","summary":"Lightwell Security Advisory: spring-context 5.3.18.rhlw-00010","details":"Red Hat Lightwell has released org.springframework:spring-context 5.3.18.rhlw-00010 with backported fixes for CVE-2022-22968, CVE-2024-38820, and CVE-2025-22233.\n\nCVE-2022-22968: In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.18, 5.2.0 - 5.2.20, and older unsupported versions, the patterns for disallowedFields on a DataBinder are case sensitive which means a field is not effectively protected unless it is listed with both upper and lower case for the first character of the field, including upper and lower case for the first character of all nested fields within the property path.\n\nCVE-2024-38820: CVE-2024-38820: Spring Framework DataBinder Case Sensitive Match Exception\n\nCVE-2025-22233: CVE-2024-38820 ensured Locale-independent, lowercase conversion for both the configured disallowedFields patterns and for request parameter names. However, there are still cases where it is possible to bypass the disallowedFields checks.\n\nAffected Spring Products and Versions\n\nSpring Framework:\n  *  6.2.0 - 6.2.6\n\n  *  6.1.0 - 6.1.19\n\n  *  6.0.0 - 6.0.27\n\n  *  5.3.0 - 5.3.42\n  *  Older, unsupported versions are also affected\n\n\n\nMitigation\n\nUsers of affected versions should upgrade to the corresponding fixed version.\n\nAffected version(s)Fix Version Availability 6.2.x\n 6.2.7\nOSS6.1.x\n 6.1.20\nOSS6.0.x\n 6.0.28\n Commercial https://enterprise.spring.io/ 5.3.x\n 5.3.43\n Commercial https://enterprise.spring.io/ \nNo further mitigation steps are necessary.\n\n\nGenerally, we recommend using a dedicated model object with properties only for data binding, or using constructor binding since constructor arguments explicitly declare what to bind together with turning off setter binding through the declarativeBinding flag. See the Model Design section in the reference documentation.\n\nFor setting binding, prefer the use of allowedFields (an explicit list) over disallowedFields.\n\nCredit\n\nThis issue was responsibly reported by the TERASOLUNA Framework Development Team from NTT DATA Group Corporation.\n\nThis patched artifact is a drop-in replacement for org.springframework:spring-context 5.3.18 from Maven Central.","modified":"2026-10-22T00:08:31.875966218Z","published":"2026-10-12T16:59:46Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-22968","CVE-2024-38820","CVE-2025-22233","GHSA-4gc7-5j7h-4qph","GHSA-4wp7-92pw-q264","GHSA-g5mm-vmx4-3rg7"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/22xxx/CVE-2022-22968.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-22968"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g5mm-vmx4-3rg7"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://spring.io/security/cve-2024-38820"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/38xxx/CVE-2024-38820.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-38820"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4gc7-5j7h-4qph"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator?vector=AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N&version=3.1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-22233"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4wp7-92pw-q264"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.springframework:spring-context","ecosystem":"Red
