prior to 6.2.18, or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A WebFlux server application that processes multipart requests creates temp files for parts larger than 10K. Under
    some circumstances, temp files may remain not deleted after the request is fully processed, allowing an attacker to
    consume available disk space. (CVE-2026-22740)

  - Spring MVC and WebFlux applications are vulnerable to cache poisoning when resolving static resources with caching
    and encoded resources resolution enabled. An attacker can poison the resource cache with resources using the wrong
    encoding, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2026-22741)

  - Spring MVC and WebFlux applications are vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks when resolving static resources from
    the file system on Windows platforms. An attacker can send malicious requests that are slow to resolve and that can
    keep HTTP connections in use. (CVE-2026-22745)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
